Butterfly 4 ways......

I saw this Mosaic Butterfly technique sometime this past year.  I think it was Brian King?  Not sure, but now seems the perfect time to try this out after all the inspiration from Powell Gardens!

Balmy Blue card base and Layered Leaves embossing folder.

Pick 4 colors and cut your paper 3 1/2 X 3 1/2.  (I started with 4X4 too BIG)  Place all 4 squares of paper in the Stamparatus to make sure ALL 4 Butterflies are stamped in the same spot.  Stamp, remove paper and stamp again until all Butterflies are stamped.

The using your paper cutter, cut in half at the 1 3/4 mark and again, leaving 4 equal Squares.  Now mix and match with embossing folders, card bases and embellishments.  4 Unique cards in a SNAP!!

Choose your pieces and place in embossing folder and emboss, I glued mine down on a White panel with a Birthday Sentiment from this stamp set.

Petal Burst with Calypso Coral Card base.

Balmy Blue card base with Garden Trellis embossing folder and Lemon Lime Twist ruffled ribbon.

Could not resist using the RETIRED Fluttering folder and the Ruffled folder.
