Paper Butterfly Pin

Photo Details

Poster: MariLynn

I was inspired by these paper pins.

Monarch Butterfly - God's Beauty by AmyCelona at Splitcoaststampers

and

Kelli Purkey Pins by thepinlady at Splitcoaststampers

I stamped my images with black stazon. I made my layers with tacky glue. I tried shiny spray paint, but just soaked into the paper. I then tried clear fingernail polish. I liked the finished result of the polish.

I added wire for the antennea. The butterfly was glued to the pin back with hot glue.

What do you think?

Very pretty, MariLynn. I haven't seen those before. I saved the tutorial from the link you posted, but didn't watch yet. Wouldn't those be pretty on a hand knit scarf or shawl?? Very nice.

You did a terrific job with nail polish... basically that is the same thing as the Cystal Effects.

Good work and thanks for the link!

This is lovely, MariLynn. Reminds me of an enamelled butterfly brooch I have that used to belong to a great-grand aunt.
