Butterfly easel OWLSCompleted by CatkinCrafts

Here is my first owl card from the popular layered butterfly easel card range. This was cut out using my cutting machine (an SDX), rather than by hand.

To provide clear outlines for the machine to pick up when scanning my printed sheets, my friend very kindly added a black outline to all the parts of the card, after putting the downloads onto the computer screen and doing some computer 'jiggery-pokery'.

This ensured that my machine cut out the pieces more effectively. (I have found from experience that it is not always necessary to add this extra dark outline, if the downloads already have a nice, bold, dark-coloured outline).

I added some extra touches with a black marker to the finished card too, as I liked the contrast with the other colours in the card.

Thanks again, Carol - you've Dunne it again - another super-duper butterfly easel for us to enjoy making and receiving.

PS: hoping you will soon be able to find some suitable badger images to add to the new woodland themed cards.

Happy Crafting Everyone! x
