February is half over can you believe it? It's almost spring....right? At least, I keep telling myself that! This month's MFT Card Kit is just in time for a fun springy feel! February's kit is called Beautiful Butterflies.
First, I used the Stitched Scalloped Edge dies to create a vellum panel. I heat embossed a "Hello" sentiment, that is included in the kit, on the vellum. I cut out 2 dies from the Bold Greenery die-namics (not included) and attached them to the vellum panel. Next, I stamped out 2 butterflies, using my Misti, and added 2 colors to each of the wings. I popped up each of the butterflies on the greenery and added some sequins to finish it off.
Tips:
1. To attach vellum to a card front without the adhesive showing through, do one of 2 things. Spray a single shot of spray adhesive to the middle of the back of the vellum and layer on the card stock. Or, use a Tombow glue runner and add the tape to the back of the vellum where the die cuts or the sentiment, are so the adhesive is hidden.
2. Use a make up sponge to apply the ink to the solid image to have a more blended look.
3. Use foam tape to adhere the main images to your card for some added dimension.
