Less is More - week 173 - use a die cut

 This week our Clean & Simple theme at Less is More is to use a diecut, which was a great excuse to get out two dies I bought at Ally Pally and had yet to use.  I love this Memory Box butterfly heart and have been after it for a while.  Here I used it over some rainbow printed glossy card, with a few extra butterflies added.  Sentiment is Stampin' Up.
 I also bought some teeny birds from All Occasions dies and cut several sets out from Coredinations card.  I gave them telephone wires to perch on with stitching and added Whiff of Joy sentiments.  While I don't tend to use the images they go with, they are still fab sentiments for cards using birds!
