Here is a sneak peek at today's card...I'll be back this afternoon to share with you the directions...but I just couldn't wait any longer to share it with everyone!! I told you I was having a blast with this butterfly border punch from Tonic Studios!! See you soon!!
Sorry for the delay in posting instructions with CHA just around the corner - I have lots of deadlines to meet. Now I just love the possibilities of this Tonic Studio Butterfly Boot Punch. You can use it as a single image or you can use it in the Border Punch System. You can link the butterfly designs or you can vary the heights of the butterflies, which is what I chose to do in this design. I envisioned a beautiful garden with butterflies flying above it. I started by punching the butterflies then using -a peg leaf stamp for Rubber Stamp Tapestry I placed the leaves under the Butterflies leaving room for the Daisies using Versacolor Fresh Green. The daisy peg stamp is from the SFL 34034 Pansy & Daisy peg stamp set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I stamped the daises in purple brillance ink and then I highlighted the center with Sky Blue Spica Micro Glass Flake Pens. Next I used the leaf peg stamp to design a daisy border across the top once again leaving room for my Daisy to be stamped next. Using the stamped leaves as a guideline I then used my Melon Spica Micro Glass Flake Pen to highlight the leaves. I used my Cuttlebug Swirl A2 Embossing Folder to dry emboss the purple cardstock is from the World Win Papers. The Purple and White and the Green and White Polka Dot Ribbons are from Creative Impressions. The background paper is from A2Z Essentials. I then punched the butterflies up the side of my 5 x 7 card...I love that this punch can be used in both directions. For a little bling I added rhinestones from KaiserCrafts and I used my clear Spica pen to the last butterflies I punched. I so wish my photgraphs showed off the Spica's better.
