Add Dimensional Butterflies

Design by Valerie Salmon

Create butterflies that appear ready to flutter off the page using die cuts, templates, or punches. Layer shapes cut from different patterns and add gems for instant sparkle.
Score each butterfly shape vertically in the center to lift the wings.
Give the wings dimension by placing adhesive foam between the layers.
