Cardmaking featuring handmade paper with stitched fabric appliques which form butterflies

I am on a roll!!!!  These cards were all made with the same concept where I used the little triangles cut from darts when making bowl cozies to create wings for butterflies!!!  Worked really well and I was able to make three cards with two butterflies on each card.  I just offset the triangles, applied a little glue with a glue stick to keep them in place and then I stitched them down to the handmade paper.  I added a stitched border all the way around to finish off the top layer and then watercoloured my white cards to coordinate with the elements on the front.  I then adhered the large handmade paper piece to my cards using glue stick.  I pressed them to keep them flat.  I love how they worked out!!!  Therese
