Using the Butterfly Kisses stamp set, stamp the butterfly on white
cardstock using your White Versacolor Ink, then cover completely in white
embossing powder, shake of the excess and heat with your heat gun. Repeat
with one on vellum. I have colored these images using Broken China. Color
the cardstock butterfly on the front and the vellum butterfly on the back. Cut
with coordinating die. Cut a strip of acetate approximately 1cm wide and adhere
to the back of the vellum butterfly up to the head, leaving the flourishes
free. Do not bend the top of the acetate like you will with the flower.
Using your Buttons and Blooms stamp, stamp the medium size flower in
teal zeal, morocco, lilac posies and buttercup, lightly shade with the matching
color and die cut with coordinating die. Shape with your
deluxe flower shaping kit.
Using your leafy accents stamp, stamp your double and triple leaves
using your peeled paint ink and color with same ink. Die cut with coordinating
dies and shape in the 3D shaping mold.
Cut 4 strips of acetate approx. 1cm wide, you can cut the length
when assembling the card. Bend the top of your acetate over about 1cm wot make
a stand. Adhere 2 leaves, you may need to cut into singles and 1 flower to the
front of each acetate strip and allow to dry. On the yellow flower adhere 1
white button.
Using your Patchwork Pockets stamp, stamp the pocket once each with
bamboo leaves, lilac posies and buttercup, shade your pockets as pictured. Die
cut with coordinating die.
Using your Hand stitched Accents stamp, stamp your "Birthday for
you" stamp in Teal Zeal, die cut with coordinating die. Trim this into 2
pieces, the for you section and the birthday section. Color the leaves with
bamboo leaves.
Cut 1 acetate strip 1cm and fold the top at the 1cm mark as you did with
the flowers. This will be the ramp for your banner.
Using your Buttons and Blooms Paper Pad cut the background mat 6" x
6". Cut your white card base 12" x 6" and using a bone folder
for a cleaner line fold in half.
 Card Assembly
Adhere your front patterned mat. Adhere your vellum butterfly to
the top left so as the top of the butterfly is coming out the top. Using your
acetate ramp adhere to the right side of the card so it sits approx. 2 cm below
the card top. Adhere 3 flowers to the back of your yellow pocket (play
around with the placement so it will sit on your card nicely, you may need to
trim the bottom of your acetate strips so they are not hanging out. Adhere your
birthday flourish to the back of the pocket so it sits as pictured.
Line up your yellow pocket up on your card front for measurement purposes
only do not glue in place and work out where your banner will sit best and
adhere it over your ramp so it is floating in the air. Using 3d dots adhere
your first pink pocket remembering that this is below the yellow level and the
flowers will need room. Using 3d adhesive now adhere your yellow pocket
over the top of the pink pocket. Adhere your center flower to the back of the
green pocket so that it fills your bunch and using 3d dots adhere your last
pocket. Trim the top flourish of your cardstock butterfly and adhere with glue
only in the center of your butterfly so you can bend up his wings. Using glue
only on the right side adhere you’re for your mat and bend it up like a tag.
Decorate with stickles as desired.
Happy Crafting
