Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Do you like optical illusions? If so, this technique is for you.
CAS Mix Up is asking for Eclipse cards this month. I don't know about you, but I often
need to stop and really look to see the subtle die cutting on these cards. I've done this
technique before with words and numbers. I was wondering about using a shape instead.
So I picked some pretty floral patterned paper and die cut a butterfly from the
center, glued some foam behind him, and popped him back in.
He's really hard to spot. Maybe this angle shows him better?
Let's go over to see what other ways this technique was used. The fabulous Design Team
has wonderful examples and inspiration and there are some links to tutorials too.
And I used some of that hoard of patterned papers!

I think looking for the image makes an eclipse card even more fun, Bonnie. Your paper is gorgeous and using a butterfly for the eclipse was a perfect choice. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix-Up.
Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie and I can definitely see the beautiful butterfly! That dsp is so pretty to begin with, and then using a shape instead of a word or number is such a great idea...why did I never think of that?!! Love the solid white border around the dsp too. Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Oooh, I love this idea for the technique! Really love your gorgeous paper, too!
That is a really beautiful piece of patterned paper Bonnie and a brilliant idea to use the butterfly as the eclipse and it is visible. The ornate white frame shows the whole thing off beautifully, and thank you for coming to join us over at CAS Mix Up Challenge. x
Absolutely stunning!!! Oh my this was a wonderful idea, Bonnie, with such amazing results! While I saw the shape, I wasn't sure it was a butterfly until the second view, but oh what a view
I've not ever tried this technique before, but I may give it a go after seeing your beautiful butterfly here!
Gorgeous paper and a lovely eclipsed butterfly. Beautiful card.
I call this card "Amazing" - Beautiful and the technique is wonderful. Beautiful, beautiful card. I wouldn't mind seeing another one of these.

A CAS card, yet so rich in imagery! The butterfly is a surprise for the eclipse technique, but a very apt choice for this patterned paper. A stunning card, my dear Bonnie.
