Astuces de l'émission

• Position your butterfly image towards the edge of the card rather than centring it, so that when you cut around the wing, it creates an interesting shaped card edge.
• Using contrasting background paper behind a cutout element makes the detail really stand out and gives your card visual impact.
• You can use the black and white words washi tape as a quick sentiment without needing to stamp or write anything additional.
