Glittered Wings


Did I tell you I have a passion for butterflies?  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff has this beautiful set called Winged Things.   There are so many beautiful butterflies in this set to choose from.   I have been wanting to try this new background technique and I decided this would be perfect with my butterfly taking center stage.   I used some old Mac Tac adhesive backed paper that I salvaged a few years back.  I peeled off the backing to expose the sticky side and stuck my piece of lace to it.  Then I poured on the extra fine glitter and spread it around, I removed the lace and shook off the excess glitter.  I added a piece of clear polyester on top to seal it in.  I printed the butterfly onto the teal vellum, traced it with Diamond Stickles and when it was dry cut it out. You can do this same technique with a piece of packaging tape, (eliminating the need for polyester) but my card is a 5 x 7 so the tape was not an option for me.  I hope you enjoyed this,thanks for looking.  ~Diane
