Butterfly Stained Glass Effect Card Front 1
Gorgeous large card front which I have designed with my "Grace" metallic butterfly design on a background with stained glass effect.This card front measures 7.5x7.5 inches, which makes it very suitable for using on an 8x8 inch card blank.
Ready Happy Birthday greeting is included on the sheet as well as one more blank label where you can write your own greeting suitable for the occasion.
If you wish you can print one extra sheet of this design and use it to decoupage the butterfly. This beautiful card front can be suitable for lots of occasions such as Birthday, Thank You, Congratulations, Good Luck, Retirement, Thinking Of You etc.

This is a quick, yet stunning, card if made by simply flat sticking the design to a gold or maroon card front and adding one of the tags. I did a little more to make it 3D. I printed the design twice on matte photo paper. I then cut the stained glass out of the centre panel and raised the rest of the design on foam squares before adding it to my maroon card. I flat stuck the centre panel pieces back in place.
I cut the inner wings from the 2nd copy of the design and painted the body with gold Stickles glue. Once this was dry I used double sided tape to join just the body to the design on the card, this left the wings free to 'flap'. I finished by cutting out the 'Happy birthday' tag and sticking just the edges across the bottom of the card.
I re-sized the image to a smaller size and printed 3 copies of it. I attached the main image on a square folded card blank.
From the second copy I cut out the butterfly and mounted it on top of the ready image by attaching the body of the butterfly with DS tape and 2 thin sticky foam pads under the wings.
From the 3rd copy I cut out the second smaller layer of the butterfly and attached it the same way as the first layer.
I attached the greeting label with Happy Birthday greeting in Chinese above the butterfly image.
The edges of the card I decorated with red peel-offs and 4 little flower embellishments. This card was very easy and quick to make, it took me about 30 minutes to complete it.
