Happy Tuesday and a Tutorial


Hi everyone, Nancy here today to share with you a project from the new Oh Penelope kit and a quick tutorial on fan fold butterflies.

There are so many soft, pretty colors in this kit and I knew I had the perfect photo for a fun layout.  I made quite a few rosettes and then decided to try something new to coordinate with the beautiful brass butterfly in the kit.

I began with two 2 1/2 inch squares

I scored and folded on the diagonal at 1/4 inch

folded each in half and glued the centers together

then added some glue on the underside to keep my folds together.

and I had my butterfly.

I added a little wire for antenae to finish off my butterfly.
Thanks for dropping by, and don't forget to come back and check out all the other great design team inspiration on the blog.
Hugs.
Nancy
