Butterfly Birthday



Wrapping a gift is as much fun as giving it. I  die cut this flower out using the Sure Cuts A Lot. I inked the edges of  pink paper with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick and Aged Mahogany. I inked the entire leaf with Forest moss since it was cut in pink paper and I didn't want to cut it again. I inked the stem in Vintage Photo. I them sprayed all the items with homemade perfect pearl mists to add shimmer. The butterflies were created by first cutting 2 butterflies out of white cardstock using the cuttlebug die cut. I then used a brayer and rolled Brilliance Rocket Red ink on the embossing folder, I then embossed the butterfly using my Cuttlebug.  I sprayed them with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Gold to achieve the color I was looking for. I wrapped the gift with some wired beads and left one end long so that one of the butterflies could float above the flower. I  love the final look.

  3. I am thinking the Sure Cuts A Lot is a Cricut cartridge? Just wondering what die cut this is as I have some gifts to wrap this weekend.
