Transparency 3D butterfly with a video tutorial

<iframe title=”YouTube video player” width=”480″ height=”390″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/rfocYhcMkiU” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen>iframe>

   This project actually began as an attempt to partially re-create a butterfly that had been stamped and embossed onto blue card stock as part of a Christmas tag that I was given by my friend Karen Brand.  I loved her butterfly and it was one of the first I had seen that had curled wings so it appeared to be flying.

    For several weeks after this, I experimented making them 3 dimensional.  My first attempts did not come out so well, but once I knew what and how I wanted it to look, the idea for the butterfly was born.  The first ones where stamped onto Vellum and made into pins, now I use them in so many ways, earrings, necklaces, mini book decorations and yes I still make pins. 

   You can easily do this at home by following this video tutorial.  Please subscribe to my Youtube Channel:  Iwannastamp and be sure to check out my blog here for more fun projects and video tutorials.  I am just learning how to use “Mr. Linky”, so for now, I would prefer that you send me your creations to my email at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com, mark them “3D butterfly”.  All photos received will be published to this blog and if you have a blog, please include that information so I can publish it here as well.

    If I receive more than ten entries, I will pick my personal top 3 and these individuals will receive a goody package in the mail from me. 

    I am taking orders for butterfly mini kits, each kit is $30.00 US Residents only.  This includes priority mail shipping.  Please use the “tip” jar on the side bar for payment and note “butterfly kit” in the description.  Please be sure to verify that your address is complete and let me know what colors you would like in your album or put ‘surprise me’ if you want me to pick from my stash for you.
