Things I enjoy: scrapbooking, making cards, stamping, painting, sewing, playing the piano and singing. I've posted photos of some of my past creations and will continue to post more as I make them.

I have to apologize for not keeping up with my blog. I have been doing this and that and I didn't realize it had been so long since updating it! I've been taking some online coloring classes at <a href="http://www.kitandclowder.com/" target="_blank"><b>Kit and Clowder</b></a>, volunteering and other stuff. I really enjoy my coloring classes and I need to post of of them here. Today is a project that I made using some of my new copic coloring skills. </div>

I made this ballerina art piece for my niece's birthday. She has been in dance and ballet so I wanted to make her something to remember her special day. </div>

I only used one paper from Paper Temptress store on this piece but I used both watercoloring technique and regular coloring with copics on it. I love this paper because it has a wonderful texture to it that is great for copics, watercolors and inks as well as many other mediums that you may want to try. The awesome paper is called <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=776" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=776"><strong>Strathmore Bristol Bright White</strong></a>. </div>

I hope you can see the difference between the watercolor background and the copic coloring of the ballerina.</div>

Today I am sharing with you a box that I made for my DT position at the <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.941447595891662&type=1" target="_blank">Paper Temptress Facebook Challenge which this month is Winter Whites</a></b>.

I used the <b><a href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=616" target="_blank">Silver Lustre</a></b> paper pack for covering the box, making the decorative rectangle behind the image and for the flourish.

I'm sure she is going to like it. </div>

I colored her and the background with copics. I am taking some copic coloring classes at <a data-mce-href="http://kitandclowder.ning.com/" href="http://kitandclowder.ning.com/" target="_blank"><b>Kit and Clowder</b></a> and that's where I learned how to color the background. Don't get too startled about the prices because they are Australian dollars and it's much cheaper here in US.</div>

I cut out the moon and put the colored image (popped up on pop dots) on top of the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1000" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1000" target="_blank"><b>Incandescent Candido </b></a>paper which also served as a border. I added a little shading to the moon to add a little depth as you can see in the photo below.</div>

<span style="color: #333333;">My project today is Asian inspired and I have a little tutorial for you. This was actually my very first post here on the Paper Temptress Blog back in June of 2013. It has been such a pleasure to work with Patricia ( the Paper Temptress herself!) and the rest of the wonderful, caring team for the past two and a half years. No worries, I'm not going anywhere BUT... there's a </span><b><span style="color: magenta;">HUGE SURPRISE</span><span style="color: purple;"> </span></b><span style="color: #333333;">coming in November! You will definitely want to watch this blog and the </span><b style="color: #333333;"><a href="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/" target="_blank">Paper Temptress Blog</a></b><span style="color: #333333;"> for more details! *squeal*!!!!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; text-align: center;">
Now on to the tutorial! First up I used a <b><a data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/mybestiesdesigns/" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/mybestiesdesigns/">Sheri Baldy</a> </b>Besty digital stamp for my focal point image, isn’t she cute? I printed her onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" target="_blank"><b>Cryogen White </b></a>cardstock which has a bit of a shine to it. I colored her with copics and then carefully cut her out.</div>

I used<b> <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=210" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=210" target="_blank">Whip Cream cardstock</a></b> for the base and cut it out using Spellbinder’s Grand Labels One. I used #3 for the outside and #1 for the cut-out on the inside.</div>

Next I took a 6×6 piece of <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1188" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1188" target="_blank"><b>Bamboo Forest Screenprint</b></a> and also cut it out using Spellbinder’s Grand Labels One. This paper is GORGEOUS! Notice how it shimmers and changes color in the light! It’s also somewhat transparent as the last photo shows with the dark brown paper behind it.<br />

The <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" target="_blank"><b>Cryogen White</b></a> is super smooth which makes it an excellent cardstock for using copics on.<br />

The card I made today started out one way and ended up a bit differently than I first imagined it but that's ok. Sometimes it works out better that way! The first thing I did was stamp my image onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=706" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=706">Rose Vellum</a> and then I embossed it with black embossing powder. I don't have a photo of that stage but this is what is looks like after coloring it on the back with copic markers.</div>

This is what the image looks like from the front after coloring it on the back. I marked on the vellum where I wanted to cut it out to fit the seed packet. (image coming up).</div>

I stamped the seed packet image from Flourishes onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White</a> and embossed it with black embossing powder.

I marked and cut base of the card and the two layers of paper I wanted to use as mats behind the main image. The gorgeous papers I used were <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1033" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1033">Punch</a> and <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=774" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=774">Amethyst</a> from the Mica/Metallic cardstock. I used the text weight cardstock in the Amethyst color and it was quite a bit easier to cut than the heavy weight cardstock that the Punch color. I have found that when layering or even dry embossing, the text weight works great and it's even cheaper to buy & ship! I think I will stock up on some of my favorite colors.</div>

Good Saturday Morning! I have a floral card for you today. I've been wanting to use the new border die by Spellbinders so I used it on the purple and pink paper from the <b><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1342" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1342">Basis Package</a> </b>at the <b><a href="http://papertemptress.com/" target="_blank">Paper Temptress</a></b> store.</div>

Good morning everyone! I have a card for you that could have many purposes. It could be used as a Sympathy card, birthday card, wedding card or for any other purpose you could think of... except maybe a masculine card. hehe!</div>

Hello everyone! I would like to showcase some of the best copic paper there is on earth! Oh yeah! It's <strong>that</strong> good! And of course, you can find it at the<strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/" href="http://papertemptress.com/"> Paper Temptress store</a></strong>! </div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">

<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">
My personal favorites are <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382">X-Press It Blending Card</a>, <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753">Cryogen White</a>, <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White Premium Ultrasmooth Cardstock</a></strong>.</strong> and <strong><a class="CWlink" data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=762" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=762">Neenah Solar White</a></strong>.</div>

The first paper I'm highlighting is <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382">X-Press It Blending Card</a></strong>. It's a bright white paper that is very smooth so that copic and other alcohol ink markers glide very well along the surface. The smooth texture of the paper allows the ink to mix and blend when you are adding in your shading or combining two colors as I've done in the photo below. As you can see, the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382"><strong>X-Press It</strong> </a>is even brighter than the white paper it's sitting on. This paper isn't especially thick so the ink will bleed through the paper some and of course the more layers you color, the more it will bleed through. You will need to adhere it onto other cardstock when making a card. Don't let that steer you away from using it though. It's about the same thickness as the Heavenly White 80 lb. I really enjoy using this paper.</div>

This next project is one I made recently. I have been taking some copic coloring classes over at <strong><a data-mce-href="http://kitandclowder.ning.com/" href="http://kitandclowder.ning.com/" target="_blank">Kit and Clowder</a></strong> and this is one of the projects I made in the class! I used <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753">Cryogen White</a></strong> as my base and printed the digital stamp onto it. I wasn't happy with my first try at the hair so I reprinted the stamp and colored it up and cut it out. Funny story is that I printed it onto <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1382">X-Press It Blending Card</a> </strong>instead of Cryogen! hahaha! After I cut it out you couldn't tell that it was different paper than the background because the background had so much detail. I popped the mermaid and dolphin up onto pop dots and did the same with the little fishies. I also put Crystal Effects on the bubbles so it gives them a more fluid and 3-d effect.</div>

<strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White Premium Ultrasmooth Cardstock</a> </strong>is also very smooth and works well with alcohol ink markers. One thing that's great about <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White </a> </strong>is that is comes in 3 thicknesses.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far! Before I get too far along in my post I would like to give a shout-out to my new friend Linda who I met at JoAnn's yesterday! I was drooling over all the dies and other fun things I could use with my wonderful paper from the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/" href="http://papertemptress.com/"><strong>Paper Temptress store</strong></a> when we struck up a conversation and were there talking for quite some time! Is it just me or are crafters just the nicest people on the planet?! I sure enjoy coming on here and sharing everyone's creativity and friendship.</div>

Today's card is kind of Eastery... which really isn't even a word, but the lamb in this image made me think of the cute lambs, chicks and ducks we usually have around Easter. On the other hand Tilda (by Magnolias) sure looks a lot like Little Bo Peep taking her lamb out for a stroll on a bright Spring day!</div>

I stamped my image onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753"><strong>Cryogen White</strong></a> and colored her with copics. I stamped her dress onto some patterned paper, shaded it with copics, fussy-cut it out and glued it on. I then fussy-cut Tilda and her lamb out to go onto this fun Spring scene.</div>

All the other paper I used are from the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1342" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1342"><strong>Basis Cardstock Package</strong> </a>and the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=526" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=526"><strong>Astrobright Colored Package</strong></a>. I used 3 different shades of yellow to make the sunburst and using a die to cute it out made it sooo easy! Taylored Expressions carries that die! </div>

Good morning everyone! I'm sure that everyone is about ready for Spring so I'm here with a butterfly mobile because nothing says Spring more than seeing butterflies fluttering everywhere.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26.6666679382324px; text-align: center;">

First I cut out a bunch of butterflies. I cut at least 3 of each butterfly of the same pattern and color. I cut 4 of some but I ended up only using 3 of each. Pretty, aren't they?</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26.6666679382324px; text-align: center;">

I first scored each butterfly down the center and folded them in half. I then glued 3 of each of the same butterflies together putting them back halves together leaving one side open. Here's 2 of them below so you can see how they look. You could put 4 of them together but I felt that 3 were plenty.</div>

The reason I left one side open was so that I could put the fishing line into the center of the butterfly before gluing it closed. I beaded some large beads at the bottom of each fishing line strand to weigh the butterflies down and put some decorative beads in between the butterflies. I ended up with 6 strands but you can do as many as you like. I added glitter glue to some of the butterflies just for some sparkle. I also felt like the basis paper that I had was beautiful but not quite as thick as the metallic/mica paper and the glitter glue made it more sturdy. I am sending this mobile cross-country so I want it to hold up well during shipment. Don't worry, I am going to wrap these butterflies very carefully and box them up so they don't get squashed.... at least I sure hope they don't get squashed!</div>

I wrapped a large metal ring with ribbon (lots of glue on the back of it) and hung it with 3 strands of ribbon tied to a center small key ring. I tied each strand of the mobile to the ring and viola', a butterfly mobile!</div>

Here's a close up of the top half of the mobile. It looks much better in person! I didn't really have any rhyme nor reason to what order I put the butterflies or beads, I just had fun making it at random.</div>

If I make another one (and my husband says I need to make one for him!) I may choose to have more of a design to it. The little girl I'm sending it to won't even care if there are two yellow butterflies together (like in the back shown below)... she will be thrilled to receive it and so will her mom!</div>

Easter is right around the corner so I decided to make an Easter card to show you today.</div>

The image I used is from Magnolias and her name is Tilda. Isn't she cute? I stamped her onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White</a> and colored her with copics. I enjoyed coloring all her little Easter eggs in different colors.</div>

As you can see in the photo below, the card is in the shape of the egg and opens up. Tilda is popped up on pop dots and positioned in a way that her feet keep the card from rolling or falling over.</div>

Good morning everyone! It's time to start getting ready for Valentine's day! I had a lot of fun making this card with so many of the beautiful papers from the<a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/index.php" href="http://papertemptress.com/index.php"><strong> Paper Temptress store</strong></a>.</div>

For the top portion of the background I used a small portion of "Pink Vintage Patchwork" which is a 6x6 overlay from the package <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1338" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1338">Hambly Overlays #3.</a> </strong> The white background and heart are made from <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=466" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=466"><strong>Laser Silver Luster</strong> </a>which is one of my favorites! I used several of the Mica/Metallic paper. The pink heart is <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1014" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1014">Azalea</a>,</strong> the blue heart is <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1041" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1041"><strong>Vista</strong></a>. I used <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=687" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=687">Alpine Aster</a> </strong> and<strong> <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=696" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=696">Spring Larch</a> </strong>from the <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=373" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=373"><strong>Glimmer Cardstock Package 1</strong></a>. The two parts of the banner that I stamped was stamped onto <strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White</a> </strong>cardstock. I don't know if you can tell that the pink heart is popped up a bit from the background and the white heart is popped up on top of the other hearts.</div>

I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! We got a huge surprise! It snowed at my house New Year's Eve and it only snows here in Southern Arizona once every few years so it was a real treat!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! *singing* At least it does in every store in town! Many of us like to get our Christmas cards done early so we here on the blog are giving you ideas on what you can make using paper from Paper Temptress's <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422" target="_blank"><strong>Christmas Paper Pack</strong></a>.</div>

Since I'm living in a construction zone right now due to an unfortunate plumbing issue which led to the dishwasher flooding our kitchen and hallway, getting underneath our wood laminate flooring and into our walls... I decided it would be a good idea to post a Blast from the Past post using one of my favorite cards from last year. What's great is that the<span data-mce-style="color: #333333;"> </span><b><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422">Paper Temptress's </a></b><strong><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=422">Christmas paper package</a></strong><span data-mce-style="color: #333333;"> is on sale again right now!!!

I found a video by Jennifer McGuire here: <strong><a data-mce-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv2EL8jZhZ8" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv2EL8jZhZ8" target="_blank">Die Inlay</a> </strong>It's a fun technique and I think I did pretty well considering this was my first try at it. I had to work with a LOT of small pieces because I chose snowflakes... which have a lot of small pieces. hehe!</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
First, you need to choose your background paper and the inlay paper. You need to decide where you want the inlay pieces (snowflakes) to be on the background paper. I placed the snowflake dies on top of the black Onyz background, taped them into place and ran it through my die cutting machine. (pictured below - you can see the black snowflakes top left of the image and the black background cut out just below.) You then need to cut the same pieces (in my case - the snowflakes) out of the contrasting (inlay) paper also shown below:</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<a data-mce-href="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Snowflakes-at-night2.jpg" data-mce-style="text-align: center;" href="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Snowflakes-at-night2.jpg"><img alt="????????" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20311" data-mce-src="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Snowflakes-at-night2-600x425.jpg" src="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Snowflakes-at-night2-600x425.jpg" height="425" width="600" /></a></div>

Be sure to save all the little pieces - you'll need them! Next you will adhere your background paper to the card and then start filling in the white spaces. It's just like a puzzle. You need to be sure to fit the snowflakes and the tiny pieces in where they fit. You'll need to dot liquid glue to the backs of the pieces. My favorite glue is Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue found in most craft stores. The smaller bottle has a fine tip so you can easily manage how much glue comes out. Try not to get glue on the background paper or on the top of the snowflakes. I use tweezers to pick up the pieces and place them onto the card.</div>

You can see that parts of a couple of snowflakes hang over the edge. Carefully cut off the excess for a professional look. You can see in the photo below how the card is one layer. I added 1/2 pearls to the snowflakes to give them an elegant look.</div>

Thank you for stopping by! This was a fun card to make even if it was kind of time-consuming. But once I started putting the "puzzle" together, it was fun and went quickly! If you try this technique of Die Cut Inlay, please let me know! I'd love to see it! <b></b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Good morning! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today I have a card that could be used as a friendship card for someone who is going through a rough time, or is ill or having surgery or even a sympathy card. </span><br />

Good morning! I hope you are having a wonderful week! Today I am filling in for Holley on the Paper Temptress Blog who was gracious enough to post for me last week. </div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

My card today features a wonderful stamp set from Stampin Up called Fabulous Florets. I first stamped the flower images with Versamark onto<a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255"> Heavenly White cardstock</a>. After heat-setting and letting it cool, I water colored the flower petals with dark pink ink which ended up looking quite red in the darker areas. I made sure that I water colored around the outside of those images so that the white outline would show up. I colored the centers of the flowers with copics #YR20 and added a little YR02 to add a little depth to the center. </div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

I stamped the mason jar with memento ink onto <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753">Cryogen White</a> and then stamped the stems and leaves in green. In retrospect I should have stamped the foliage first and then masked it for the mason jar. I colored the water with copics: BG0000 & BG000. <span style="font-size: 13px;">I wanted more leaves anyway so I stamped more onto some scrap</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=753" style="font-size: 13px;">Cryogen White</a><span style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13px;">and then cut them out and glued them onto the sides of the mason jar. The flowers are popped up with pop dots and I left the tips of the leaves loose and folded them upward to add movement to the card.</span></div>

Happy Saturday!!! I hope you are having a great weekend! I'm so happy that I found the time to do some crafting and made this card for my Design Team post over at the <a href="http://blogs.papertemptress.com/2014/08/02/22187/" target="_blank">Paper Temptress Blog</a>.<br />
<br />
My card today uses quite a few fun papers from the <a href="http://www.papertemptress.com/" target="_blank">Paper Temptress Store</a>.

The banner was stamped in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder onto the following paper: <a href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1037">Sapphire (text weight)</a>, <a href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=696">Spring Larch (text weight)</a> and <a href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1014">Azalea (text weight)</a>.

I stamped the large flowers onto <a data-mce-href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://www.papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255">Heavenly White</a> and colored them with copics.

I am making a butterfly mobile for a precious special needs little girl. She loves bright colors and butterflies so I've been making them like crazy! These are a fair amount of work so it's taking me more time than I originally wanted to take but I'm sure she will love it when I finally get finished with it.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
I will post another day when I actually have the mobile done but for now, enjoy these butterflies!</div>

I used black <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031">Onyz</a> for the outline of the butterflies. I explain that process below. As you can see in these photos, I shaped the butterflies so that they would be 3-dimensional. Once they're hanging from the mobile they should look like they are flying.</div>

I ran the butterfly dies through my Big Shot using the<a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031"> Onyz paper </a> and all the little pieces came out as you can see on the right side of the photo. I used<a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=255"> Heavenly White</a> paper for the background of the butterfly and colored it using copics. I placed the black outline on top of the white paper and colored in the individual sections. I then took the black outline off and expanded the coloring a bit so that if I didn't glue the outline exactly where I originally had it, it would still look ok.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

When gluing the black outline on top of the colored butterfly cut-out, it's important to shape the card as you glue the together. If you wait until the glue dries then the paper won't bend right. The <a data-mce-href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031" href="http://papertemptress.com/product.php?product=1031">Onyz paper </a> is a nice, thick and sturdy paper. When you glue it to the other paper it holds that shape nicely. I colored both sides of the white butterfly paper so that it is colorful from any angle. So... I cut out another black outline and glued it to the back. The front of this butterfly is below.</div>

Here is another butterfly using pink, blue and purple copics. The thick outline of this set made it much easier to glue than the thin outline above - but I like the look of both.</div>

This is the back of this butterfly with it face-down. You can see how I colored this side and added the 2nd black outline. You can also see that it's shaped and not flat.</div>

This is one of my favorite butterflies. I enjoyed coloring different colors in the outer circle cut-outs on the wings.</div>

Below are the smallest and largest butterflies. The smallest one is about 1 1/2" wide and the large one is about 3 1/2" wide. They would be a bit wider if they weren't bent and shaped. The orange area of the large butterfly has two shades of orange. I thought it made a dramatic effect if I feathered the darker color on top of the light.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I plan to put pearls or other "bling" onto the butterfly bodies after I get them hanging on the mobile. I'll be sure to glue them on good so they don't fall off!</div>
