DIRCTIONS:
1.Glue DSP to black strips of paper. Punch each set’s edge with the butterfly punch angling it to just cut edge.
2. Adhere them to card front allowing 1/4” on edges and between each strip from longest to shortest.
3. Punch 4 butterflies and use the Multipurpose Glue to adhere.
4. Add pearls to butterfly.
5. Stamp sentiment and adhere to black card base. Adhere second white to the inside of the card.
TECHNIQUES:
Black and white and use your scraps! This card is a wonderful way to use those scrapes you’ve been saving. If you have a hard time dealing without color, you can always add a pop of color.
TIPS:
Punching the DSP and black at the same time ensures that they will be even. Try to punch each set at the same angle.
Hope you/ll try this technique!
Happy stampin’,
