Hi everyone! We had a great class last week! We made these very fun pansy flowers using the butterfly punch and reinkers. I have found some great tutorials on other blogs and here are a few links!
The card on the left was made by dipping my aqua painter in reinkers then applying to a spritzed butterfly. The card on the right was made by applying the reinkers directly to the spritzed butterfly. In both cases I used Shimmery White paper which gives a beautiful glittery effect! Before I assembled the butterflies, I also curled the edges of the petals with my bone folder. Just be sure you let the butterflies dry thoroughly before you attempt to attach the brads!
A very fun technique!
