Attach the butterfly stencil onto white card. Draw around the inside edges of the large butterfly with a black fineliner. Remove the stencil and colour in the image with alcohol markers, then cut out the butterfly.
2. Trim white card to 2cm x 15cm. Use alcohol markers to create a striped panel. Cut with a scalloped border punch, then adhere to the left-hand side of the card. Fix the butterfly to the centre. Apply Ranger Glossy Accents to the coloured sections of the butterfly, then stamp a sentiment above to complete.
