CAS OPENWORK BUTTERFLIES x4

Hello!

Continuing on with the CAS series.... :o)

Two cards on the right utilize two halves of the same butterfly.  I ink blended onto a white panel using brushes, then die cut that panel and glued it to the card front.

The other two cards I cut the butterfly from white card stock, glued the two halves to the cardfronts, and then inlaid the scrap pieces from the other two cards.  Sentiments are stamped directly.
