Butterfly Escape Card by Joanne
Butterfly Escape
I've created this card with butterflies escaping from a miniature envelope in the bottom corner. The papers used are from Couture Creations Butterfly Garden collection.
I made the miniature envelope using the Couture Creations Scoring Board, which has a great attachment for scoring the across the diagonal lines needed on envelopes. The envelope is made from a piece of paper 2 1/2 inches square.
You have to position the envelope making guide so that the paper being scored can extend past it.
The place you actually score is 3/8" away from the 0 on the diagonal ruler,
so you need to take that into account if you are calculating where to line up your paper.
For the side flaps, line the corner of the paper up with the 3/4" mark on the diagonal ruler
Make sure the paper is butted up against the guide, but doesn't slide under it, and doesn't move when you are scoring.
Score the opposite sides at the 3/4 mark, turning the paper 1/2 turn for each one, and then line the other edges up with the 1 1/8" mark and score for the top and bottom flaps.
Where the score lines cross, cut the corner out, as shown here
I've also added a flower using the Peony Flower Mini Stamp. I stamped using purple pigment ink, and heat embossed with some pearl embossing powder, before coloring with mica water colors.
