Instructions:
Begin by cutting a piece of kraft colored cardstock to 12 x 6 3/4". Score vertically at 3" mark and 9" mark. Fold the two panels towards the middle of the card to create the gate fold. Adhere white grid paper to the front of each panel.
Cut/emboss S5-066 Shadow Flowers using the Grand Calibur Machine, out of dark and light shades of grey and green cardstock. Adhere the Shadow Flowers to each panel. I put the tallest Shadow Flowers on the left and the shorter ones on the right panel to help draw the eye.
Stamp your favorite sentiment on the right panel as shown above. Open the card and stamp a coordinating sentiment on the inside of the card.
Choose a coordinating patterned paper and colored cardstock. Cut/emboss three Butterflies as shown above. I like to mix the cardstock on top for one, and the patterned paper on top for another.
Adhere the Butterflies by applying a line of Zip Dry glue on the backside, and down the center of the top Butterfly. Carefully center and adhere to the bottom Butterfly. Allow to dry. Then, bend the winds of the top Butterfly up. You can also curl the wings just a bit for more dimension.
Adhere the black crystal swirls to each corner as shown above. That's all there is to it! Lots of layers and dimension and oh so easy to create. I had so much fun creating this card!
