Butterflies-tutorial and challenge

Who doesn't love butterflies? Even though it might not be the latest thing in the scrapbook industry, I sure love them.

Here's a card I made using my Slice:

And here is an old layout ( scraplift from PhoebeJo over at scrapbook.com) where I used store bought butterflies from K and Co:

But even though I have my Cricut and my Slice I sometimes still prefer to hand cut.

Print out this template on a 8 1/2" x 11" white card stock, and then cut out the shapes and you will have some handy butterfly templates that you can use over and over again.

Here are some I made using the template.

Easy tutorial :

Cut out two sets of wings and one body. I cut one set of wings slightly bigger than the other. Add 3D- dots to the bottom wings.

I used paperclips for the antennas. Attach them on top of the 3D dot.

Then put the other set of wings on top and adhere the body.

Just the fun part left; to decorate the butterfly. Use whatever you have. I cut out small pieces of card stock, doodled of course and added some pearls.

I got my inspiration from these fabulous felt butterflies from K and Co.

Now to the challenge;

• Create a scrapbook layout or a card with butterflies ( one or many) on. They can be stickers, die cuts, rub ons, stamped or handmade. Your choice!

• If you add a link to my blog you will get a extra vote and if you use my template you will even get one more.So you can get your name in the hat 1,2 or 3 times.

Happy scrapping and I can't wait to see your creations!
