Step Three


Stamp the butterflies using a waterproof ink such as pigment ink, and color with watercolors. Color body with a silver wax colored pencil. If you have a glitter brush pen, give them a light coat and allow it to dry. Once they are dry, use foam dots to stick them to the card.

Step Four


Using your favorite ink pad, add ink to the edges of the paper, working your way in.You don't have to do the centre as you will be covering it  Set aside to dry.

Step Five

 

Grab your blue cardstock (or whatever color you are using). Cut out a window a little smaller than the cardstock used for your flower curtain image. Stick on a piece laminating sheet on the reverse side. Now place foam tape around the opening.

Step Eight


Stamp “You are wonderfully, wonderful!” and cut out. Go around the edges with black ink. A make-up sponge is great for this. Arrange on your journal page and glue in place.
