• Form a 15cm x 21cm blank and cover the front with the dotty side of Radiate paper, making sure the denser dots are near the spine. Cover the inside of the card with the butterfly side of the paper.
• Lay out, but do not stick, butterflies, a 'Beautiful' banner and a 'You are fabulous' circle on the card as shown. Make sure the bottom butterfly is roughly 9cm from the top of the blank and the banner 8cm from it. The disc should be 1cm from the bottom. Lightly draw around each shape in pencil, leaving a border.
• Remove the pieces and cut around the lines as shown to create a shaped blank, going through both layers of card. Replicate the circular shape around the disc above it, to make a scalloped edge. Punch a 5cm circle from the front layer of the card in the top scallop.
• Stick the butterflies in place, some with foam pads. Add the ‘Beautiful’ banner above the aperture and attach ‘Perfect’ and an arrow on its left. Glue the ‘You Are Fabulous’ circle and a turquoise butterfly as shown. Round the bottom left corner of the card.
