Hello!
Valentines is coming up fast so here is a tutorial…
Using a technique I just discovered…. masking with a rubon!
You will need:
- Some rub-ons (butterflies 2 sizes and a swirly background type one)
- Pen
- two coloured ink pads (I used red and green)
- Heart punch
- white card-stock
- red card-stock
- swirly stamp
- dimensionals
- glue
- scissors
- trimmer
_______________________________
1. Take your swirly background type rub-on and punch out a shape of a heart.
Mine didn’t quite go all the way through but it worked anyway.
2. Then take a 2 3/4″ square piece of white cardstock and Rubon your heartshaped rubon. DO NOT remove the backing at this stage.

3. Now take your makeup sponge and sponge around the heart and the edge of your paper.

4. Now take the green and sponge on the green in between the red heart and edge

5. Now remove the rubon backing. Rubbing where necessary if needed.
6. Now get your two butterflies and rubon them with spare pieces of white cardstock taking off their backing.

7. Now cut around the outside of your butterfly. Leaving a small white frame around them.

8. Now put the adheasive down the middle only of the butterflies and stick them around the heart.

9. Now write the words “My heart… takes flight” on the card where pictured.
10. Now take your red cardstock and trim it to 8″ x 5″ and fold in half for the base of your card.
Next stamp red on your red cardstock the swirl stamp along the top and bottom letting it overhang the edges just a tad.

11. Now stick your embellished square in the middle on an angle.
With dimensionals and pinch the butterfly wings together a little.

12. You have finished your awesome card!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you have learned something new.
