Good morning. Today's card from card class is a bit more intricate than the last one. In this one we have used the ornate flower from the Mixed Bunch stamp set to make butterflies:
To make the butterflies, I stamped the flower twice in Versamark ink onto Whisper White. I then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Using daubers and Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight ink I covered the flower image. The bits that have been heat embossed will stay white and show through. The rest will have a lovely soft colour. Punch the flowers using the Blossom punch.
Cut 2 petals out of one of the flowers in a 'V' shape, making the buttefly shape. The 2 petals that you cut away can be attached underneath the butterfly to give it a 3D effect. Cut another 2 petals from your second flower to 3D the other wing. Here's a close up which hopefully explains it a lot better than I can:

I used Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight for my base card with a layer of First Edition Speciality paper. Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon was glued across the card front and the greeting, from Petite Pairs, was punched using the large oval and layered onto one of the tags from the Sizzlets Lots of Tags set, cut using the Big Shot.
I hope all of this made sense. If you would like to try any of these techniques then why not book a party to take place at your own house where you can have a play with some of these products. x
