Adhesive: Tombow Glue or your choice
INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: I used Tombow Glue to adhere everything as this card is for a 3 year old. Use your favorite adhesives.
1. Stamp your Swallowtail Butterfly on Pink Pirouette card stock.
~Option 1: Use VersaMark ink and Melon Mambo Embossing Powder. Melt with Heat Tool.
~Option 2: Use Melon Mambo ink and Clear Embossing Powder. Melt with Heat Tool.
~Option 3: Stamp with Melon Mambo ink and skip the embossing powder.
2. Cut your Butterfly out with Paper Snips or scissors.
3. Score and fold your 8-1/2″ x 11″ Pink Pirouette card base at 5-1/2″
4. Cut your Designer Series Paper at 5-1/4″ x 8-1/4″. (If you want more Pink Pirouette to show through cut at 5″ x 8″.) Attach to card front.
5. Stamp your Sentiment twice in Real Red or Cherry Cobbler ink on Pink Pirouette card stock. Punch out with the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch. Punch two 1-3/4″ Scallop Circles from Cherry Cobbler card stock. Attach the sentiments on top of the scallop circles.
6. Position the Butterfly and the sentiments in the desired positions. Attach.
7. Now to make the Butterfly Sparkle! Use your 2 Way Glue Pen and the Dazzling Diamonds to add some sparkle to the Butterfly. You can also use Dazzling Details to add sparkle to the Butterfly. Yes, I used both to highlight the light pink that shows through the Butterfly wings.
8. The sentiments needed something so I put a dot of the Dazzling Details for the center of a flower and five Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details drops around it for petals.
9. Set aside to dry for several hours or until dry.
10. Hold your Butterfly Card up to the light to see all those sparkles!
11. You can make your own envelope for this card with an 11″ x 11″ pieces of either card stock or coordinating Designer Series Paper. Your first Punch & Score will be at 4-1/2″. Watch this video for more details on making an envelope.
Happy Card Making!
