Instructions:
- For the card front: Place the card with the fold on the left. Cut 5"x7" white cardstock and place it in the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder. Emboss the cardstock, then trim it to 4⅝"x6⅛". Use the smallest blender brush to lightly brush Damson Wine ink just over the two butterflies. :ightly brush Plum Jam ink over the remainder of the embossed cardstock.
- Mat the embossed panel on pink cardstock with ⅛" borders. Wrap a 6" light pink crepe ribbon across the panel, 2" from the top, and glue the ends to the back. Glue the panel centered on the card front. Punch out the 2¾"x3¼" Beautiful Butterflies pink floral label and foam tape it to the front, covering the embossed oval area.
- Cut out the Beautiful Butterflies “it’s your day” label and mat it on white cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on pink cardstock with ⅛" borders. Glue it to the floral label as shown. Punch out a Beautiful Butterflies small pink and a small ivory rose and foam tape them over the left end of the sentiment.
- Make a 4-loop bow with the pink crepe ribbon and tie the center with thread. Use double-sided tape to attach the bow to the first ribbon, overlapping the floral label at the left. Place Diamond Sparkles on the butterflies’ bodies and a large sparkle on the bow center.
- For the inside: Cut and emboss another white cardstock panel as for the front. Trim the panel to 4⅜"x5⅝", then brush Plum Jam ink just on the large butterfly. Mat the panel on pink cardstock with ⅛" borders and glue the panel to the inside center.
- Punch out the four Beautiful Butterflies die-cuts shown. Glue the two sentiments and the butterfly and foam tape the rose to the embossed panel as shown. Cut a 4" sheer swirls ribbon, knot the center, and use tape to secure it to the left end of the pink label.
