Measurements: A2 size card, blue plaid including the navy border 4 ¾” x 2 ¾”, sentiment and butterfly panels including the borders 1 ¾” x 2 ¾”
-Paper Piercing on the plaid layer.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps (for blending) were used to color the butterflies.
-Martha Stewart border punch.
-Cuttlebug Vintage Corner die cut was used for the scroll work. This is the lower section of one die cut and I also used some of what we normally throw out to finish off the center area. They are attached with tacky glue.
-The large cut out butterfly lost its right antennae so I cut the other one off and stamped just the antennae on the white panel and matched up the cut out.
-I added some sparkle to the butterflies using Art Glitter adhesive and clear glitter.
Note to self: IÂ’m going to start taking a photo of the panel I stamp a sentiment on because it looked straight until I saw it on screen.
