Butterfly Stepper Card using Exquisite and Owl Edges Stamps from Chocolate Baroque

The new Edge stamp sets from Chocolate Baroque are gorgeous – they are so versatile and can be used in so many different projects and mixed & matched with other stamps in your collection. I have combined mine with some patterned paper and stamped butterflies. I hope that you like it.  

Materials:

• Exquisite Edges, Owl Edges, Mackintosh Sentiments and Just Butterflies stamp sets
• A5 stepper card blank with main panel approx. 6 X 6 inches
• 6 x6 decorative butterfly paper from Crafty Individuals Background Papers ‘Book 3’ Springtime
• Multicoloured dye based inkpad (blue, purple, green)
• Alcohol ink pens (blue, pink, yellow, green, purple), fine tipped marker (purple), Polychromos coloured pencils (pinks, turquoise, green)
• Clear glitter glue (crystal), Glossy Accents
• Decorative die cuts (from white card) and adhesive

How to make it:

1. Stamp the border along the top and bottom edges of the decorative paper.
2. Stamp the sentiment and small floral motif. Extend the stems by drawing with fine liner pen. Colour the floral motifs with pencil.
3. Trim the paper slightly to fit onto the card base and give a fine border of the white card showing. Enhance the edges with green ink and glue on the die cuts.
4. Stamp the steps masking the card where needed using a sheet of scrap paper. Glue on the card front.
5. Stamp the butterflies and colour with alcohol ink pens. Glue to the card.
6. Add Glossy Accents to the butterfly bodies. Finish by adding sparkle with glitter glue.

Happy Stamping, Anne x.
