shaped outline. I then filled it with Dragonflies and Butterflies

resizing and flipping them from the Dolly Daydream Goes East CD.

I layered it up with another piece of card 14cm x 14cm with 3D foam pads

on top of the 14.5cm x 14.5cm card.

I used 3D foam pads behind the heart too to give dimension

and adhered it next to the sentiment.
