TRANSPARENCY BUTTERFLY - HOW-TO

Hello-

I am getting alot of questions about how I created the butterfly on my Lattic Grid Card and so I decided to post the instructions.

Here is what you will need:

* Butterfly Stamp
* StazOn Ink - Black
* Transparency
* Sharpie Markers (assorted colors)
* Scissors
* Glue Dot (to attach to card or project)

First, ink up your stamp using the StazOn Black ink and then stamp the image on to the transparency. BE CAREFUL not to rock the stamp. Try not to MOVE the stamp b/c the image will smear since the surface of the transparency is slick. After the image has been stamped, let it dry. Once the image is dry, color the butterfly using the sharpie markers. Cut the butterfly out and attach it to your project using a glue dot. I did slightly bend the wings of the butterfly as to give it demension and the effect that it could fly off the card.

I hope that these instructions have been clear. If you have any questions, PLEASE, post a comment and I will get back to you.

Thanks for stopping by!

LATTICE GRID Card w/TRANSPARENCY Butterfly


Hello all-


I am so excited about this card that I am posting...and I am going to tell you why.


I bought this *new* tool and I absolutely LOVE IT! It is called the Scor-Pal and it is absolutely amazing. It is a tool that allows you to make perfect score lines EVERYTIME when you are making cards, or boxes, or the Lattice Grid that is done on the card. The tool is SUPER easy to use and I was sent a tutorial on how to create the grid...and in 3 minutes, I was done.


I also tried something else. The butterfly on the card was stamped on a transparency.....yep....the kind that are used on over-head projectors....I stamped the image with Black StazOn ink. I let it dry. I then colored in the wings with a Sharpie Marker, cut the butterfly out and then slightly bent its wings to add demension. I attached it with a glue dot, and VOILA!!!!....this pretty card emerged.


Please let me know how you like it. I love to get feedback!


Thanks for stopping by!
