Dotty Butterfly Birthday

This week's Make It Monday's Challenge #122 was to use your Copic markers to make polka dots - I coloured most of my butterfly in with lots of tiny dots, adding a few darker ones randomly here and there. I used the sketch challenge from Inkspirational's Challenge #26 for this card as well (I was one of their winners from last week's challenge so thank you to the girls who picked my card!).


And here's my fairly CAS card. Someone asked me last week how I get my mounts so close using the Framelit dies from Stampin' Up. Easy - I cut out the patterned paper using the die, glue it to the card I'm mounting on and cut round it with scissors, keeping roughly the same distance from the patterned paper all the way round. A bit fiddly but it gets the mounts to the size I want!
