Layered Butterfly Card


Hello........ Today I thought I'd share with you this pretty little flutterby card.


The butterfly came as part of a kit, that I recieved as a Christmas gift, which had sheets of coloured card and also a sheet of pre cut butterflies.


So it was just a case of popping out the pieces and building up in layers to make a 3d butterfly.


It was a bit fiddly as some of the pieces were so tiny that I had to cut the smallest 5mm foam pads I had in half,


The flowers for the wings were much easier


Just a bit of peeling and sticking


Until my three layered butterfly was almost complete


Well you know me I couldn't resist adding a bit of sparkle.


Ta-Dah


Then I just added some lilac polka dot paper to the bottom of a card blank


before sticking the butterfly in place


and adding a pretty green ribbon


Ta-Dah

One butterfly birthday card.
Happy Crafting
