Instructions -
Run the Light Green half-sheet through the embossing folder and then scuff with the Paprika ink pad. Set aside for now.
On a White piece of paper, stamp eight Fancy Flying butterflies. Color six of the butterflies with the Purple colored pencil and use the Orange as the trim color. Color the main body of the other two butterflies with the Orange colored pencil, with Yellow trim. Cut out all of the butterflies. Set aside the two Orange ones and prepare to arrange the other six into a “flower.”
Glue the six Purple butterflies in a radiating pattern onto the Light Purple paper, with room in the middle for an Adhesive Pearl that will come later... Use scissors to trim around the butterflies. The result will resemble a flower. Glue the “flower” onto a piece of Dark Purple paper and trim away the excess, leaving a thin pinstripe of Dark Purple. Set aside for now, while you make the stem and leaf.
On another piece of White card stock, stamp a multitude of Fancy Flying butterflies. Overlap impressions and remember to stamp a second time before re-inking. When the ink is dry, either use the scissors free-hand to cut out the stem and leaf or draw it with a pencil before cutting out. Once you have cut out the stem and leaf, use the Light Green and Dark Green colored pencils to color it in. Then clue the stem and leaf to the Dark Purple card stock and trim away the excess, leaving a thin pinstripe of Dark Purple. Set aside for now.
On another piece of White card stock, stamp a background pattern with the Fancy Flying butterfly stamp and Narcissus ink. Then chalk with the Moss colored Chalk. Then edge the oval with the Gold Paint Pen. Now locate the two Orange Butterflies you made earlier and fold them where the wings meet the body. Glue one down onto the oval and then glue the other one on top of it.
Assemble the Pieces -
Glue down the oval medallion first. Then tie a ribbon around the stem of the flower and then glue the stem and leaf onto the card-base. Next, glue down the flower. The last thing you will do is to add the Adhesive Pearls. But wait! I've prescribed White Adhesive Pearls and the photo shows orange ones! Well, locate that Orange Sharpie marker from the supplies list and make those white pearls orange! Use the smallest pearls around the oval medallion and then use one of the largest ones in the center of the flower. That's it!
