While making the banner yesterday and cutting the butterflies with the Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719), I realised I could make a beautiful Butterfly with the pieces that would normally be thrown away.
Firstly, I cut the butterfly with the Butterfly Thinlits Dies (#137360) using Elegant Eggplant card (#108614). Then I cut the butterfly again in the Gold Glimmer Paper. I glued the Elegant Eggplant butterfly, using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755), to a piece of scrap card - doesn't matter what colour you use. Then, one by one I took a piece from the gold and glued it into the corresponding part of the Elegant Eggplant butterfly. It is a bit fiddley but is worth the trouble. It does look much better in real life too. I then cut around the butterfly and attached it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I embossed the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Perfect Polka Dots folder (#117335). I punched some Elegant Eggplant card with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch (#119275) and attached this to the edge of some 5/8" Organza Ribbon (#114319). Happy Birthday from Big Day Stamp set (#c139112, #w139109) was stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink (#126969). I used the Decorative Label punch (#120907) and the Label Bracket punch (#132153) for the sentiment.
