Instructions:

I started by cutting white card 14.5cm x 8cm.  I next cut a piece of the foil tape sheet just a little bigger and adhered it to the white card.  Foil tape is quite sticky however, if it isn’t straight, it is possible to gently peel it back and reposition it.  Trim any overhanging excess.

Next, put it in the Butterfly and Vine embossing folder and run it through your  Cuttlebug (or equivalent).

Add drops of Butterscotch and Lettuce alcohol ink to the applicator and pounce over the foil.  As it dries quite quickly, you can continue doing this until happy with how it looks.  I then dripped a tiny amount of the blending solution onto the swirls which allowed the original colour of the foil to show through.

 

 

On a piece of leftover foil (attached to white card) I repeated the process, this time using Cranberry and Eggplant alcohol ink.  I then cut three Claudie butterflies, folded up their wings and adhered just their bodies to the butterflies on the embossed card.

 

 

I found a sentiment that was appropriate for the butterflies and stuck them on the right hand side of the tag.

I finished off by adhering the tag to a piece of textured mustard card which is just a couple of millimetres bigger than the original tag. I punched a hole in the top and added some ribbon which co-ordinated with the butterflies.

Instructions:

As I have these gorgeous flowers, I thought I’d go pretty in pink with this card.

I started by running the pink texture card through my Cuttlebug, then cut a small curve from the Slide Alongs in the top corner.   I cut two butterflies, one solid from the pink card and one delicate from the dark pink glitter card and glued them together at the body. 

Next I punched at least 10 circles from scrap card and 2 from the pink card.  I glued the circles together in two sets, making sure there was a pink circle on the top of both.  One set goes under the curve, the other on top of the curve.  There is a tiny piece of foam tape gluing the two sets together which allows the butterfly to move along the curve freely.

I placed another slightly smaller piece of pink cardstock underneath the first one using foam tape.  The small gap between the two layers allows the butterfly to move freely.

Next I cut a small white tag, stamped the sentiment and adhered it with double sided tape.

A mat was cut from pale pink glitter card and attached to the folded white A5 card.  The front of the card was attached using double sided tape.

Lastly the flowers were arranged on the bottom left side with a couple of smaller ones on the tag.  I used the Tombow Aqua glue to keep them firmly in place.
