Line Art Card (frame Card) 22 With Bejewelled ButterflyCompleted by Gwyneth George

Occasion
Miscellaneous/Other / Miscellaneous

I printed the flower and butterfly sheet out from within my Silhouette Studio software onto 300gsm Super Smooth cardstock. I then used my Silhouette cameo to cut these layers out and also to cut out the base card out from Foiled Adorable Scorable cardstock. I coloured the roses in using Promarkers. I selected two of the buterflies and stuck them back to back with a narrow strip of acetate sandwiched between them down the middle. I coloured the butterfly using Distress Ink. I attached the acetate strip to the top and bottom of the apperature on the card, but making it bowed outwardes so that the butterfly was floating above the surface of the card rather than sitting in the middle of the aperature and flutters and shimmers when the card is moved or there is a breeze. I then attached the first layer of roses using 1mm deep, double sided, foam tape, and shaped the second layer before attatching with glue gel.

I have printed and cut the greetings panels out onto the same cardstock, but haven't put a greeting on the card yet as I don't know which one is required. It's great that the sheet comes with blank panels so I'll be able to put on a Welsh greeting.
