[@SandiMacIver]

Thank you Susan, I'm sure many people have similar dies, just kind of reminding them that you don't have to go out and buy something new, just because that's what I used in the video.

[@judyinukai7580]

Awesome! I haven't used my Cosmic Butterfly yet and this inspires me. Love it in purple with the touch of pink. Thanks for the great video and instructions.

[@SandiMacIver]

dig it out girl and get creating, LOL, thanks for watching Judy

[@jennifertoth6732]

Beautiful!

[@bethbenson1931]

The lovely colors you chose really set the butterflies and mandala off against the black. Very striking! I don't have a mandala die, but I am thinking I could either use an edgeable die from Crafter's Companion or a doily in it's place. Thanks so much for the idea! 😊

[@SandiMacIver]

Thank you Beth, and yes, a Doily die would work perfectly
