Chris has longed to play with the Three Butterflies cling set from Hero Arts and so was completely delighted with the results of colouring in the large butterfly image with coloured pencils. They make such a stunning accent on these cards which also feature 'Old Letter' cling stamp and 'To a special friend' wood sentiment stamp.

Why not create a one of a kind gift bag with your favourite stamp set! Chris has used the Clear 'Sew me flower jewel' set with the small butterfly image from the 'Three Butterflies' cling set. Stamp directly onto pattern paper and then cut out the images and use 3D adhesive to piece all the bits back together. Finish off with a little Stickles by Ranger.

Here is a quick tutorial from Virginia on how to create this card: "Make card from card stock. Stamp the house and clouds in assorted paper, cut out the images. Tear a piece of green pattern paper and cut with the fringe scissor, curl up the “grass” with a toothpick. Assemble the houses and clouds, adhere with pop dots. Stamp sentiment in punch chalk ink , add pearl.”
