I think this will be going to my sister for her birthday this Saturday.
I've seen the butterflies made with ribbon and tried that, but I wanted to see what I would get with the tulle ribbon. The tulle ribbon is just folded over so you have 3 layers.The tulle for the top wings is cut a little longer than for the bottom wings. These 2 pieces I hold together after folding, then wrap and tie embroidery floss around tightly leaving some floss to make the antennae. The buttons are attached in the same manner. Then fluff and shape.
The sentiment panel is stamped and embossed then dry embossed with an ef. Heat again to repair any cracked (heat) embossing.
The bg panels are adhered, with the sentiment on top. Then adhere the butterflies accordingly.

Very cool ribbon butterflies! Especially with the tulle! The sentiment looks almost hand doodled with the dry embossed background. I realy, really like this card!
