Instructions: The final card size is 6" square. Create a 6" square card base from white cardstock. Stamp the collage cling stamp onto a 6" square aqua-colored card panel from the paper collection with Versamark ink. Add gold embossing powder and heat emboss the image. Adhere the panel to the card base. Select two of the same 6" square card panels from the paper collection. Die cut away the center of one of the squares using the 4" square Cut Mat Create die. Save the resulting 4" square piece for another project. Add foam tape to the back of the die cut panel and adhere over the collage panel on the card base. From the second 6" square card panel, cut away the next larger, inside layer of the panel. Add foam tape to the back of the cut panel and adhere over the layers on the card base.
Ink up just the Butterfly image on the corner section of the Birds and Blooms Collage Cling Stamp with Versamark Ink. Stamp onto aqua background paper from the paper collection. Do this four times; add gold embossing powder to the images and heat emboss. Scissor cut away the four butterflies. Stamp the leaves from the Leafy Branch Cling Stamp Set and a bird from the Birds and Blooms Cling Stamp Set onto aqua background paper from the paper collection two times each. Add gold embossing powder and heat emboss the leaves and birds. Die cut all the leaves and birds using the coordinating dies. Shade the birds with some pink distress ink. Using pink background paper from the paper collection, die cut two lacy pieces using the lacy die from the Cut Mat Create die set. Set all the pieces aside.
Shape two of the butterflies with the paper shaping tools. Trim the wings of one of the butterflies shorter than the whole butterfly. Add glue just to the center of the the shorter butterfly and adhere over a whole butterfly. Fold up the wings to create a dimension. Adhere the created butterfly to the card front over the butterfly image on the collage. Create a second butterfly using the other two embossed butterflies and set aside.
Using the 8mm shaping tool, "round" the leaves and birds to give them dimension. Adhere all the heat embossed and die cut images to the collage as shown in the sample. Embellish the card with faux pearls and Stickles.
