This is for today's Technique Challenge 207 where we were to create a border or other page element by just cutting out part of an embossed design, patterned paper, or a stamped image, and use it as a part of your card.
I have had this Spellbinder for awhile. I just hadn't figured out how to use it on a card. Today's challenge was a perfect reason to figure something out. I embossed the flowers on Pretty in Pink and Old Olive. I then cute out the pink flowers and tape them to the Old Olive. Before I taped them, I daubered over both colors to bring out the embossed part.
I also have had the Cuttlebug butterflies for awile too. I embossed the butterflies, daubered them with Bashful Blue, I cut them out, and then placed pink rhinestones on them for their bodies.
