Tips from the show

• If you connect the butterfly wings when stamping, you can create an exterior border that you can paint in a coordinating colour for a 3D effect.
• This design works beautifully in autumn tones such as oranges and browns with raw twigs instead of the blue used here.
• You can use any flowers or foliage from your stash to build composition and break up the pattern on your card.
