Lilac Glass Butterfly on Acorn Plate Card with StandCompleted by Heather Beechey

Printed onto 210gsm semi-gloss photo paper, then glued the plate and the stand onto a 190gsm sheet of paper using a zig glue pen (this does not soak through the photo paper and distort the shape) to give added strength. I then cut out the plate and stand, scored and folded the stand.

I then printed out the lilac butterfly from cup189353_425 (Sandie Burchell's Glass Butterfly Embellishments), cut out all the blank areas, then covered it with a light coat of glitter glaze. This tends to darken the colour and also curls the wings slightly as it dries. I then attached the cut-out butterfly with 2mm foam dots to add dimension and finished off with a greeting tag.
