I've read that you can color it with alcohol markers, and I plan to try that next. I'm not sure if you should color it before or after cutting, so I think I'll try both and see which works best.
The piece that I purchased was about 20" X 30" (for $1), so I can get a lot of die-cuts out of it. Isn't it fun when you find something so inexpensive that works so well?
Today I will attend the funeral of a friend who was also a staff person at the thrift shop where I volunteer. She died suddenly and unexpectedly in her sleep and was only 63. She had such a big personality, and I really enjoyed spending time with her. I miss her so much already. Life is precious; we cannot waste a moment.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Nice card, I glued the color of paper I wanted on top of the foam board and then cut my die out it works well that way also. I used Elmer’s glue stick it adhered quite well. Mkw
Your card is very pretty, Cheryl! I love the butterflies. So sorry about your friend. :(
Cheryl, my condolences on the loss of your friend. 63 is really young.
Your die cut turned out great. I might have to try that. It gives dimension without having to cut several layers and gluing together. Looking forward to seeing how it colors.
Have never thought to cut with foamboard, but your butterflies are awesome. You have enough foam board to last you for a while. We have a Dollar Tree and I don't go often as I always find "stuff". I will go in if I am going to see the grand kids and take them color book, silly putty, etc.
So sorry about your friend passing.
It's a beautiful happy card, Cheryl! Thanks for sharing about the foam board from the dollar store! How cool is that? It saves doing five layers when we want that super layered look! Hugs, Darnell
p.s. I hit publish before I was finished. I wanted to offer my condolences for the sudden tragic death of your friend. Big hugs! As you say, life is precious!
Oh I love this Cheryl, your sentiment looks fab!
I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Life is indeed so precious and we should certainly count our blessings every day xx
