Baroque Motifs and Big Beautiful Butterfly



Directions:

1.  Stamp Baroque Motifs flourish, small flower and sentiment in Soft Suede ink on Soft Suede card stock. 

2.  Use Scallop Trim Border Punch to punch both edges of Newsprint DSP.  Adhere to Cherry Cobbler strip.

3.  Add Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and then Lace to the strip.

4.  Use Bigshot to cut out small butterflies (Beautiful Wings Embosslit).  Glue to background with a Two-way Glue Pen.

5.  Fold Naturals Ivory square in half and place over the "half butterfly" on the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.  Run through Bigshot.  TIP:  When placing your folded card stock over the half butterfly, make sure that your see the ends of the lines of the middle part of the butterfly.  Doing this will ensure that you cut your butterfly completely.

6.  With a clean Baroque Motifs flourish stamp, stamp on butterfly with VersaMark.  Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder.

7.  Sponge over butterfly with Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede ink.  (If you would like your butterfly multicoloured, add more ink colours as suggested in the Supply List.  The example that was followed is on page 133 in the Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalogue).  Once you are done sponging, take a tissue or baby wipe and gently wipe the ink off the embossed flourish.

8.  Punch a 1/8" hole with Hand Held Punch.  Add brad.  Add dimensionals to back of butterfly.
