Butterfly Easel Card

I had seen a tutorial for this a while back and been meaning to try it!!  I made the template up and thought I would do it yesterday.  It took a while to do as the butterfly was cut by hand on the cardstock and the backing paper.  I used Tim Holtz Distress inks on the backing paper, flowers and butterflies and also edged with it.  I used an Inkadoo butterfly stamp on the butterfly base.







I used Cardstock from stash
Backing paper from DCWV Sunkissed
Prima Flowers
Buttons from stash
Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch
Tim Holtz Distress inks

    Fabulous card. I envy anyone who can cut anything by hand, I am hopeless with a pair of scissors, but to cut out that shape is amazing!

    Hi Angie

    A butterfly easel card, just wonderful. Still my favourite style of card and as a butterfly even better.

    And the bright zingy colours and perfect.
