I have had great fun using patterned paper, die cuts and vellum to create today’s project.

- A Stamp Set
- Dies

Instructions
- Fold card base along score line. Taking the DSP , stick the 2 strips to the card base, using opposite sides of the paper.
- Using the detailed butterfly dies, cut a large butterfly from Magenta Madness and a smaller butterfly from Bermuda Bay. Trim the wings away from the body on the smaller butterfly.
- Using the large die, cut the largest solid butterfly from Vellum. Using a blender brush, add Bermuda Bay ink to the butterfly. Also sponge some of the Bermuda Bay ink on the edges of the Magenta Madness butterfly. Stick the three butterflies together, attaching the large detailed vellum butterfly in the central body section and adding the smaller Bermuda Bay wings overlaying the larger Magenta Madness wings.
- Stamp the greeting from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto the Basic White card using Magenta Madness ink. Mat it onto the Bermuda Bay card. Add a swirl of white twine to the back, before sticking the sentiment panel and butterfly to the card front.
- Finish with some Magenta Madness enamel dots.
- On the inside of the card, add a Basic White panel of card, which has had a strip of the DSP added down the right side.
