Donna Salazar Designs: Butterfly Card with Twinkling Butterfly Tutorial by ~ Tracey Sabella

It's Tracey here to share a card I created featuring Donna's Spellbinders Wonderful Wings dies and Clearsnap Twinkle Dust Glitter along with a photo tutorial on how to create my Twinkling Butterflies.

Butterfly Card

Tips and Techniques

Here's a close-up of the Twinkling Butterflies. Please scroll down to find my tutorial.

I've embellished with one of my Open Lace Roses using Donna's Spellbinders Grand Peony and Rose Creation Dies. My tutorial for these flowers can be found here. (Please note, even the largest of the "Grand" Peony dies fit in regular size die cut machines.)

Below the rose, I've layered Spellbinders Foliage leaves cut from Donna's Mix'd Media Stax 2 Mulberry paper. Some are lightly inked and some left in the natural color.

Another view of the butterflies and flower.

I've stamped the sentiment with Donna's Mix'd Media Inx, then heat embossed with Clearsnap clear embossing powder.

Edges of the card and sentiment flag are distressed with Donna's Zutter Distrezz-it-All.

I've used the same techniques for the sentiment inside the card.

A side view.

Step 1. Select one of the Wonderful Wings Butterflies and cut from a scrap of white or light cream cardstock.

***Hint*** To more easily remove the intricately cut paper from the die, layer two sheets of wax paper between the die and the paper when cutting.

Step 2. Lightly rub Denim Mix'd Media Inx across the edges of the wings as shown.

Step 3. Brush Glue Gloss across the wings in the areas you have inked.

Step 4. Sprinkle the wet glue with Donna's Twinkle Dust Glitter in Mixed Berries. (Donna's Fairy Dust Glitter has been renamed to Twinkle Dust Glitter.)
