Making Metallic Butterflies

Creative Team member, Carina, shares her technique for creating metallic butterflies for your project!

Supplies: 
Metallic Tape
Alcohol Inks
Embossing Folder
Cardstock
Martha Stewart 3-1 Classic  Butterfly Punch and Eyelet Lace Punch

Steps 1 thru 4: Cover the cardstock with the tape and trim it to fit your embossing folder.  Emboss your tape covered cardstock.

Step 5 and 6:  Apply your alcohol ink to the dabber and fill in with the second color.

Step 7:  Make a random pattern on the embossed metallic cardstock.

Step 8:  Let alcohol ink dry.  Punch the edge on one side of the metallic cardstock using the Eyelet Lace Punch.

Step 9:  Using the 3-1 Butterfly Punch,  place it so that the larger butterfly has a pattern on the wings.

Step 10:  Do the same with the smaller butterflies.

Step 11:  Here are the lovely butterflies!  You can also use other shaped punches.
