Create-a-Butterfly?

It's time for another cupcake card! In case you missed the kick-off, this month I've been challenged to see how many non-cupcake-y things I can make with Impression Obsession's Create-a-Cupcake set. So far - an ice cream scoop, a turtle, a pilgrim - this week the cupcake is.......a butterfly!


I stamped the cupcake outline twice on patterned paper and cut out the tops as wings. After I had positioned them on the floral print, I laid vellum over the top and stamped two cupcakes again. I cut the vellum out inside the stamped lines - didn't look right with black edges after all...I should have used a lighter color. Next time!

The dotted trail was done with another dot in the set - there are lots of possibilities with those little decoration stamps, too...! Once I had the wings adhered, I sketched in antennae and laid down adhesive pearls to create the butterfly body.
