Assembly Details

1.  Fold 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock away from score line to create card base.

2.  Cut 5" x 3-1/2" notecard base from Paper Pumpkin in half at score line; trim each piece to 4-1/2" (set one aside for another card).  Emboss with Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  Adhere to 4-3/4" x 3-3/4" Basic White card stock.

3.  Cut Designer Paper from Paper Pumpkin kit in half to create 3-1/4" x 2-3/8" piece.  Adhere to 3-1/2" x 2-5/8" Basic White card stock.  Center and adhere this piece to embossed card stock created in last step.  Center and adhere assembled piece to card front.

4.  Use Evening Evergreen ink to stamp sentiment on label.  Center and adhere over Designer Paper.

5.  Fill Aqua Painter about half-way with water; add several drops of one of the Refill Ink colors listed above until you have the desired color.  Tap side of Aqua Painter on a bone folder or pencil or other item to splatter color onto a piece of Thick White card stock.  Repeat with the other two colors, until you have the desired amount of splatter on the card stock.  Use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut two butterflies from this card stock.  Use a thin line of liquid glue down the center of each butterfly to adhere them to the card front as shown.

6. Add self-adhesive Iridescent Sequins from Paper Pumpkin kit randomly on Designer Paper.

My samples didn't use any Wink of Stella, but I think they would look really nice on all of these butterflies, don't you?!
