Flutter by, Butterfly!

After watching Dave's Ombre Glitter Heart Card Video, which you can view at http://davebrethauer.typepad.com/stampcolorcreate/video-tutorials/, I made my own version and then started looking through my dies to see what else I could glitter up in a similar fashion.  Voila!

Dies

• 98264 Darla Butterfly 
• 98265 Vivienne Butterfly

How To

• Cut one Darla Butterfly 98264 from pink Mulberry paper and set aside.
• Cut one Vivienne Butterfly and Body 98265 from Bubblegum Moroccan cardstock. Poke out the little pieces from the intricate wing design and set these detailed wings and the body aside.
• Take the cutout frame and put clear packing tape on the back to cover the opening in the frame.
• Turn this frame over. Adhere the Vivienne Butterfly intricate wings to the packing tape in the opening of the frame.
• Add glitter, tamping it into the tape with your fingers.  I used Stampendous Pink Ultrafine and Tourmaline and Sterling from Martha Stewart Crafts.
• Carefully cut around the edges of the butterfly.  Layer the glittered wings onto the Darla Butterfly cut from the pink Mulberry paper.  Use a glue dot or a drop of white glue (I like Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive or my Coccoina glue stick) to join the two butterflies and to add the body on top.
• Cut a strip of Bubblegum Moroccan cardstock and adhere it to the front of a Velvet Rose notecard.
• Tie a pale pink organdy ribbon around the card, centered over the print paper.
• Add three little white pearls in the upper left.
• Pop dot the butterfly onto the lower right of the card front.

 This card has so many potential uses--birthday, thank you, wedding/engagement, sympathy, and more--by just varying the sentiment inside.  

Happy Stamping!
