Instructions: Create a 5.5" x 6" top fold card base from the spring green cardstock. Cut a 5.25" x 5.75" rectangle of the dark navy daisy paper from the Peacock Paisley collection. Cut a 5" x 5.5" rectangle of the light green daisy border paper from the collection and mat with the dark navy. Stamp this panel with the "Dream in Beauty" stamp using cobalt ink. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Wrap the ribbon around the bottom edge about 1/2" from the card base. Top with the bow. Brush the butterfly with Diamond Stickles and set aside to dry.
While the butterfly is drying, stamp and die cut several sets of the Delightful Daisies using cobalt, butterscotch and sap green ink onto white cardstock. Shape and stack. Sponge with a mix of blue and yellow inks from the Chalkbox Paintboxes. Paint with Distress Crackle Paint, sprinkle with Distress Glitter and set aside to dry. When dry, hot glue the Raja flower centers in place and arrange the flowers onto the prepared card base.
Stamp the "Dream in Beauty" stamp a second time onto the clear cardstock. Heat emboss carefully with clear embossing powder and die cut with the Botanical Wings die. You will probably have to run through your machine several times to cut out the butterfly and add cardstock shims as needed. Color the back of the butterfly with Spectrum Noir Markers and Painty Pen. Bend the wings upwards to look like a butterfly in flight. Add Stickles to the back side of the wings and set aside to dry. When completely dry, glue on top of the stamped butterfly on the card base. Add Stickles to the flourishes and butterfly antennae.
