Another goodbye card

Butterfly card

In the fall I purchased a hot foil machine, and when I started to play with it I unfortunately discovered that I needed a new die cutting machine, since the one I had didn't put an even pressure on the plates. So recently I bought a new die cutting machine and since then I have made several cards with hot foil on them. This one I think turned out really pretty.
