The size of the photo used in this 12” x 12” (30 cm x 30 cm)
LO is, 2.16” x 2.75” and 1.18” x 1.456”(5.5 cm x 7 cm and 3 cm x 3.7 cm) Trim
the photos to size if needed. Support the photo by backing it with cardboard.
Taking the paper sander, sand the edges to give a old worn look. Keep the
cardboard off cuts to give the photo more height later when needed. Note the
main photo has cracks in it. This is done buy folding the photo. You can leave
this out if you cannot bear to do this.
To prepare the lace circles:
Taking the white card-stock and the round lace die and
circle, die cut the lace circle x 2. Apply clear drying glue to the lace then
dip it into the glitter.
To make the large butterfly:
Taking the Fluttering Butterfly
set find the butterfly used for this LO, the archival inks and the misti
stamping tool. Apply one ink color at a time to the stamp where wanted then
stamp. Apply the next color and repeat till you have the colored butterfly
wanted. Repeat this x 3 for the 3 layers needed to make this butterfly. Die cut
all 3 stamped butterflies. Fussy cut away the swirls and feelers of 2
butterflies. Adhere the butterflies together in layers with the 3d dots at the
body. Curl the wings up a little so they will keep their height. The butterfly
will be adhered to the LO with 3d dots at the body and wings of the 1rst layer
only so you will not see the 3d dots.
To make the smaller butterfly swirls:
Taking the white card-stock, Butterfly Dreams stamp and die set
and archival inks for color, make x2 of the last butterfly and 1 of the top
butterfly. Fussy cut to how it is shown
in the LO photo. Apply clear drying glue to the wings and flower buds then dip
them into the glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry fold the wings in half at the
body to give shape.
I love how the roses looks using the paper foam. They are so fun to make!
To make the LO base and complete the LO:
Find the design paper in the collection with the large
printed cage print. Taking one sheet of paper, trim the white label edge off
and adhere with double sided tape and clear drying glue the cut to size cardboard
from the pizza box to give the LO base to stay flat and strength to carry all
the embellishments. Taking the stamp set Butterfly Kisses, chose the sentiment
and mount on the stamping acrylic block, the Garden Patina ink, stamp the
sentiment to the right foot of the LO. This same stamp will be used for the
sentiment stamped with the hand around the embellishments clusters later.
Taking the cage die from the Sweet Lilac Scroll and cage die set, die cut this
a few times. Adhere together using the clear drying glue. Use the Garden Patina
ink and a dauber to bring color to the cage. Adhere one of the lace circles and
the cage to the upper right hand side of the LO as a base for the embellishment
clustering. Adhere the photo in place adding cardboard behind the photo to give
the height wanted. Arrange the roses and leaves around the photo. Stamp part of
the sentiment as seen in the LO photo. Adhere the small butterflies above and
below the photo. Adhere the glitter lace
circle and the main photo in place, again using cardboard to raise the photo to
the height wanted. Adhere the large butterfly in place. Arrange the roses and
leaves so they will support the butterfly wings and enhance the photo. Place
and adhere the remaining small butterfly under the upper right of the photo. Using
the sentiment stamp again with the hand, stamp half of the sentiment to the
center right of the photo. To finish the LO, apply a little glitter into the
lace circle centre.

Instructions:
The size of the photo used in this 12” x
12” (30 cm x 30 cm) LO is 1.88” x 2.59” (4.8 cm x 6.5 cm) Trim the photo to
size if needed. Support the photo by backing it with cardboard. Taking the
paper sander, sand the edges to give a worn look. Keep the cardboard off cuts
to give the photo more height later when needed.
Making the butterfly’s:
Taking the white card-stock, Sepia ink, the
butterfly stamp and matching die from the Butterfly Kisses set. Stamp, color
with the Tiger Lily ink then die cut 10 of these butterflies. Fussy cut away
the swirls from 6 of these butterflies. All of these fussy cut butterflies plus
one complete will be dipped into the glitter once clear drying glue has been
applied to the wing edges. All the swirls will also be dipped in the glitter. Apply
the black color to the butterfly bodies with the marker pen. Bend the wings up and curl the wings to
give shape with the flower shaping tool kit. Adhere the fussy cut butterflies
to 3 of the butterfly bases, this
will make 3 double butterflies and 3 singles and one single layer with swirls.
Taking the white card-stock stamp the
Peonies and leaves using archival inks then bring color to the petals and
leaves using the viva stamping inks and sponge. The viva ink will bring silver
toned metallic ink to your flowers. Water-mist the petals then use the rose
flower mold to bring shape to the flowers. The silver color that will be left
in the molds can be washed out after you are done. To protect your shaping mat,
place a paper kitchen towel over the mat while in use. After the petals have
been shaped with the flower mold using the flower shaping tools and mat to ball
the flower centers. The first 2
petals will be balled into a ball to form the peony center bud then the
remaining 3 petals will be formed and adhered to surround the bud. These flowers
are adhered with the hot glue gun, the clear drying glue could also be used but
this takes longer to dry and set. 3 flowers made using the smallest size flower
from the Large Sweet Peony set and from the Small Sweet Peony set 5 small sized
flowers, 3 buds and 3 lager sized flowers. 8 flowers and 3 buds, 4 large and 13
small leaves are used for this LO.
To make the LO base and complete the LO:
Find the two design papers in the
collection with the Dream again sentiment boarder print. Taking one sheet of paper,
trim the white label edge off and adhere with double sided tape and clear
drying glue the cut to size cardboard from the pizza box to give the LO base to
stay flat and strength to carry all the embellishments. Apply the mixed media
paste using the mask. Put aside to air dry. When dry, spray the Lindy’s Stamp
Gang sprays over the paste pattern. Put aside to air dry. Taking the white
card-stock and the round lace die and circle, die cut the lace circle x2. Apply
clear drying glue to the lace then dip it into the glitter. While the glue is
drying take the 2nd design paper, fussy cut the boarder and
sentiment from the paper. Adhere cardboard to the back to raise the fussy cut
from the LO base. Apply glitter to the sentiment lace edge. Arrange the lace
circles and apply a little glitter to the center of the lace circle. Adhere the
raised border to the LO base on top of the border print. Adhere the photo in
place. Arrange and adhere with the hot glue gun the flowers and leaves as seen
in the LO photo. Last, place and
adhere the butterflies in place.
