Thank You Octagon!

Hello DRU fans!  I'm thrilled to be sharing my first post with the amazing Dies R Us Inspiration Blog Design Team. What an honor to be joining such a talented group of designers! Thank you for the opportunity DRU. Really looking forward to a fun journey and hope to make you proud! :)

THANK YOU CARD
I used Black, Gold and Kraft papers for a striking contrast.

I first multi-cut all of my elements for the Butterflies and center panel


Next, multi-cut the layers that would hold the sentiment and Octagons for framing this.



Next are the layers that go over the cut octagon shaped base card and panel.



Finally, all cuts got adhered and assembled as shown for dimension. The mini Butterflies are randomly placed and large is off-set to show the dry embossing center. All are topped off with  golden bling for added sparkle.

Final assembled card ...
