Flutter by butterfly
Floating flower in the sky
Kiss me with your petal wings
Whisper secrets, tell of spring
As soon as I saw these butterflies I knew what I was going to do for a special 40th birthday card. When I started cutting them out I was a bit doubtful as to whether I could fit 40 of them on one card, but I did.
I used my favourite stair step card which always look great for special birthdays. The card stock is SU confetti white and I stamped it in gold with the Vintage wheel.
It was getting rather crowded so I used three wires and adhered seven (double sided) tiny butterflies onto each stem which took up 21 then 9 medium sized and 10 large and the one extra large one on a wire at the top.
You can probably just see one of the wires at the top of the card here. I just adhered them at one end and then bent the wires so they would go where I wanted, but would still be floating free.
I then made a belly band for the envelope the gift voucher was in, and just tucked the right side of the card under the belly band by about 3 cm. It looked great.
So altogether I cut out 64 butterflies !
Wouldn't want to do that every day but I think it was worth the effort.
I'll be back soon with another stair step card.
Mary
