489 Double Octagon Easel CardCompleted by Gwyneth George

I decided to make this card up in red and white, therefore I moved the layers I wanted in white off my working area in Silhouette Studio before I cut the main card and top layers, together with a butterfly from cup405475_596, out of red, linen textured, cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.

I then moved the layers around again and cut out the other layers out a a white version of the same cardstock.

I used fingerlift tape to attach the white panels to the bottom half of the octagon easels, and then 1mm deep, double sided, foam tape to add the red octagon panels and the two layers of the stopper.

I'd gone round the top stopper layer with a red ProMarker and also used the same pen to write "Penblwydd Hapus", Welsh for "Happy Birthday" on it.

I made up some white roses and rose buds from ready die-cut white spirals and stuck these, and some white paper flowers from my crafting stash, onto the card using glue gel.

I also used glue gel to attach the butterfly.
