Wax background butterfly note



Just a note card made with background technique shown by Gina K. on Stamp TV this week using wax paper.  What a fun technique, although I couldn't find my iron forever!  I cleaned my craft area not too long ago and since then have been looking for lots of things.  Anybody else do that - clean it all up so good that you can't find anything?

Anyway, I used a Darice floral embossing folder to make the background with wax paper, then I sponged GKD Applemint ink on it.  I mounted a piece of black card stock with a butterfly cut out of it on the green background, then added two die cut butterflies (one in black on the bottom and one in mod podged covered antique sheet music.  I did that to make the music paper a little thicker so it wouldn't tear - it's very old!)  I glued them together then on the card along with a fancy flourish cut out of the same green background paper.  I heat embossed in white the sentiment from GKD stamp set called "Just a Note".  I thought that would go good with the music paper.  Finished with pearls on the butterfly center.  Butterfly die used is the Hero Arts Swallowtail Fancy Die.  Flourish die is Cheery Lynn Designs brand.
