Please scroll down for Twilight Tuesday ;)

Hope y'all are enjoying your Tuesday ;)

It's time for a Die Cuts R Us Challenge!!!

This week's challenge is from Jessica of The Whimsical Butterfly... to use die cuts or punches to make a layered embellishment for your card (aka flower, ribbon slide or tag, etc.).

I used my new Epic Six Tool and petite round Nesties - both are on sale right now and can be purchased at the Die Cuts R Us Store ;)

Here you can see the layers... I'm calling them "Margie's version of lollipop-flowers", lol! but my DH is calling them, "Butterfly Wheels". I'm thinking that I should have added some stems...???

Hmmm... Dear Hubs, you're being a mean boy, go away!!! ;) LOL!
