Friend Pink Butterfly Card

Created this Friend Pink Butterfly
Card using the Art Philosophy Cricut
cartridge.

Used my Gypsy to weld the Butterfly
images to make a Butterfly shaped
card. The Gypsy allows you to flip
the image top to bottom and left to 
right. I wish the Gypsy allowed you
to flip the image side to side because
this would allow me to use the 12" x 12"
mat space more efficiently. For this 4"
welded Butterfly I did it in 2 cut steps.
First I cut the welded Butterfly & then
cut the Butterfly layer in a separate step.
I could have trimmed the cardstock for
the welded image inorder to fit the layer
on the mat as well but would prefer being
able to flip the image side to side. I think
there is a layer option on the Gypsy but 
I've not learned how to use that. Anyone 
have any tips they can provide?

Used core'dinations cardstock in 2 
different shades of pink.

Used Cuttlebug Art Deco embossing
folder. Used Tim Holtz sander & Distress
Ink on the embossing. Used Tim Holtz
Sizzix Tiny Tabs & Tags. Used K Andrew
Winged Things clear stamp set I won.
Stamped sentiment on tag and tied the 
tag with ribbon to the Butterfly. Stamped 
sentiment on inside of card.
