Stamp this stunning scripted sentiment in Black Berry Bliss on a 3-3/4"x5" piece of Whisper White card stock. Die Cut (see below on a tip to ease this process) the medium butterfly in the Butterflies Thinlits Dies (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) on the Big Shot Magnetic Platform and Die-Cutting Machine.
Adhere the piece of Painted Blossoms (or any) Designer Series Paper behind the die-cut butterfly using Stampin' Dimensional adhesive. Add Glue Dots to the die-cut butterfly's body and reapply to the original cut. Super easy and the results will WOW! (Reminds me of Stained Glass)
Dig thisss technique: The struggle with Thinlits dies is that the pieces are time consuming to pop out - especially on die-cuts like this with a bunch of little pieces. It's out there - in the crafting world, but my stamping friend Patty had a great video where she showed how to do this easier. The secret is to place your clear sheet on the Big Shot Magnetic Platform, a piece of dryer sheet (even cheap ones work), the piece of paper you want to die-cut, a piece of wax paper and then the last clear sheet. Run though your Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and voila the little pieces either stay on the dryer sheet or the few that stay in the die-cut image pop out easier!
Do not toss that die-cut piece of wax paper! Add it to the center of the white butterfly and it gets a gossamer effect to this hand-crafted card! Apply Stampin' Dimensionals to the back corners of this piece of paper and apply to the Whisper White card front. White on White looks so stunning - don't you think??
