Patriotic Hope Butterfly Card

Lydia Felder Shows you how to make a Patriotic Hope butterfly card. This card is perfect for the 4th of July, Inauguration Day, or to send to troops overseas. This card is very simple and goes together quickly. You will need a base card stock pre-folded, white card stock, a butterfly stamp, a greeting stamp, black dye-based ink, a red pen, a blue ink pad, a watercolor pen or blender pen, and glitter glue.

Also in this lesson, Lydia provides an introduction on the proper way to stamp, and using a bone folder to create creases in your card stock.
