How To Make The Lace Accent

1. Cut a 4” x 1 ½” strip of cream paper
2. Line up the Kreaxions 307 Punch using insert A
3. Slide the strip to the right and align the pattern so only half of the pattern is visible and make the punch
    
4. Repeat step 3 until you have a total of 4 punches
5. Use a pencil and draw lines halfway between each of the flower punch on the back of the strip of paper
6. Turn the punch upside down and and align the sinter of the flower along the lines and punch at each line
    
7. Use scissors to snip away the bottom if needed

2. Add a little shadow of the wings using the same color you use to stamp the butterfly
3. Apply a little Inkssentials black Enamel Accents to the body and head of each butterfly
4. Set them assign to dry (takes about 2 hours)
