Butterfly Wishes – 3D butterfly

Remember the Butterfly Wishes card I posted a couple of weeks ago?  I’m back with a video tutorial on how I created the 3D butterfly using the Stamparatus to stamp on the front and back of the butterfly wing.  Even better, this is just a single layer card, although I have popped up the butterfly […]
