Mount the lavender panel to the pink panel using 3D foam pads. Fix the stamped image to the panel also using 3D foam pads, and add a dotted border as shown. Put to one side.

Take a rectangle of white cardstock measuring approx 15 x 10 cm, and stamp randomly with the butterfly stamp, inked again with Papermania brush markers. Blend the colour from the centre of the wings using a wet paint brush. Hand draw a black line around the outside of the panel. Mount onto pink, then black core’dinations cardstock.

Cover the A5 card blank with purple script paper leaving a white border. Fix the butterfly panel to the centre of the card blank. Take a strip of pink glitter spotted paper and tear each edge as shown. Fix to the bottom of the butterfly panel.
