I printed the design onto 255gsm photographic paper, the insert onto 160gsm paper and the base card onto 300gsm card and cut these out.
I scored and folded the base card as instructed. I attached the insert to the inside of the base card using double sided tape.
I assembled the decoupage using thin foam tape. I attached the decoupage panel to the base card using double sided tape. I added the greeting using thin foam tape.
I placed a blob of silicone glue under one wing of each butterfly to give more definition and to complete this gorgeous card which also comes with a matching envelope.
I printed the card elements onto 200gsm photo paper and the insert onto 100gsm paper. I cut out all the pieces and assembled the card before adding the insert. To finish I added red gems to the butterflies wings.
I don't know where Val gets her inspiration for these stunning cards but I wish I had her creative flair.
If you have not tried one of these designs- you really ought to. This is a quick and easy card to make and can be used for so many different occasions too- what more do you need?
