I attended a workshop for piano teachers last week. It was on the Faber Adventure Series, and if any of you use their books for piano lessons, you know how fun they are! I wanted to make a card for the presenter, Veena and used the PPA Challenge as a starting point. Now, these are all in-colors, and I only have the new colors in paper. Tip Top Taupe was an in-color from last year, and I don't have that, but I do have a specialty paper from Hobby Lobby that I thought 1) looked close and 2) was beautiful - it's sparkly.TIP: Use the precision plate with your Big Shot when using intricate dies.
Although, the first large butterfly I cut out was on the normal platform. But the nature of the specialty taupe-like paper made all the little pieces stick together (it seemed like a plastic page glued to a glitter page). Anyway, I was able to detach the large butterfly from the paper, and just left all the little pieces inside. This was my base butterfly. Then I made the pink and peach butterfly like normal and layered them all together.
Below is a list of materials I used (and some substitutions). The pictures link back to my online store. Email me with any questions!
