With Valentines just around the corner,
I wanted to share a favorite Tutorial for
creating very unique and beautiful
sentiments to give.
1. White wash the postcard using a paint brush
and several coats of white acrylic paint
2. Place muslin fabric over a copy paper butterfly
image. Using a mechanical pencil trace the butterfly
outline and any large details onto the fabric.
3. Paint the butterfly outline on fabric using
a #3 round paintbrush and the appropriate
colors of acrylic paint.
4. One the painted fabric is dry, cut the
butterfly out using small embroidery scissors
5. Layer a silk fabric square on the vintage
postcard, along with lace, a rice paper heart,
and the painted butterfly on top.
6. Sew the silk fabric, lace, rice paper heart
and butterfly to the postcard
7. Add your heartfelt message to the remaining
white-washed area of the postcard.
BUT WAIT!...

Very fun! Looking forward to it... ALL!
Fabulous - gonna share this :-)
Be still my heart! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself!) I have been looking for ideas for something other than the typical valentine and you did it! I love this and the cards won't be shoved into a box or circular file cabinet! Thanks so much!
These cards are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Really lovely! I need to find some good pictures of butterflies, to use for such a great project!
