This week's Queen For the Day, Loll Thompson, is the BEST at using negative die cuts, as shown on this gorgeous card, so I used her creativity for inspiration to try the technique for the first time! Thanks, Loll, and congrats!!!

The red mirror background paper is amazing ... the embossing of the stars is so crisp and clean - love it! Your negative dies of the butterflies is beautiful. Great background paper to show off the gold butterflies mounted on top.
