This is one of my favourite sayings and everyone who knows me also knows how much I LOVE butterflies, you will often find them on my projects! When my daughter was having a clean out recently she was about to throw out this red box, I quickly grabbed it knowing exactly what I had in mind to use it for!
Here are the Helmar products that I used on this project - Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping fluid, Helmar Foam Glue and Helmar clear Zap dots.
First I took a piece of calico and I soaked it in the Helmar Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid, I squeezed the excess out and left it to dry overnight on baking paper. The next day I used a Sixxiz die with my Big Shot to cut out all the butterflies. I then coloured them using various Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and Glimmer Glam paints. I then mounted them onto the black backing foam using Helmar Foam Glue.
I finished them off by adding some rhinestones and cutting up some inspiring words from Collections sentiment cards which I adhered by cutting up (very small) pieces of Helmar clear Zap dots.
Happy Holidays

WOW, so pretty. This would also be a good way of displaying shade samples of the glimmer mists and glams. Instead of the words you used each could have the name of the product used. You know, like for a store display... Lovely, ms.cheryl

I love this! My Mom's birthday is in February and she collects butterflies, this would be perfect for her. Thanks for the idea, now to pick up a few more colours of Glimmermist.
