This is one of my favourite sayings and everyone who knows me also knows how much I LOVE butterflies, you will often find them on my projects! When my daughter was having a clean out recently she was about to throw out this red box, I quickly grabbed it knowing exactly what I had in mind to use it for!
Here are the Helmar products that I used on this project – Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping fluid, Helmar Foam Glue and Helmar clear Zap dots.
First I took a piece of calico and I soaked it in the Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid, I squeezed the excess out and left it to dry overnight on baking paper. The next day I used a Sixxiz die with my Big Shot to cut out all the butterflies. I then coloured them using various Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and Glimmer Glam paints. I then mounted them onto the black backing foam using Helmar Foam Glue.
I finished them off by adding some rhinestones and cutting up some inspiring words from Collections sentiment cards which I adhered by cutting up (very small) pieces of Helmar clear Zap dots.
Happy Holidays
