I am working on my card stash and decided to use this beautiful purple background paper. I cut it to size, added a silvery satin ribbon gluing the ends to the back of the layer. I adhered this layer to the front of a purple card. I chose two coordinating purple cardstocks and die cut the butterfly. This die has the solid back which I cut out of the darker colour and the two wings which I cut out of the lighter colour. I cut the body out of a dark gray. I adhered the body to the center of the solid layer and then added the wings gluing them only at the center. It gives the wings a bit of depth. I added rhinestones to the back so they would show through the center of the flowers on the wings. I adhered this large element using double sided tape overlapping the ribbon. I punched a laser printed greeting with the Word Window punch (SU) doing one end at a time because the paper as short. I layered it onto a dark purple Modern Label punchie (SU) and had room to add two little rhinestones as well. Happy to have used this butterfly for this card as it has been languishing on the shelf!!
