Cutaway corner

 

Today's card features a technique I found on SCS, called cutaway corner -- and the name tells you everything you need to know about this technique.  It's a great way to feature a pretty paper. 

Fittingly enough, I was making a card for the Butterfly Challenge, and I'm pretty sure the patterned paper I selected was part of a  prize packet from Mrs. A. It's certainly lovely paper featuring butterflies. I used a stitched circle die to cut away the lower right corner, and adhered the patterned card stock to a pale pink card.  

I used a snippet of off-white to cut the solid butterfly, and a snippet of medium gray that was barely big enough for the filigree butterfly and sentiment. (Things got a little nerve-wracking when I tore the sentiment while cutting it, and I had just enough of the snippet left to try one more time with the sentiment.) The sentiment (from The Alley Way Stamps) is white embossed. The beautiful butterfly dies are from Simon Says and they are popped up on foam tape.

This card is for these challenges:
