Instructions:

1. Create a 5½" square card from grey cardstock. Set aside.
2. Cut a piece of Bristol Paper or other water-friendly cardstock to 6½" square and place it onto a magnetic or craft mat. 
3. Place the Entwined Butterflies Stencil over the paper and secure with magnets and/or low-tack tape. 
4. Use 5/8" Stencil Brushes to stipple Confetti, Blue Lagoon, Violet Chalk, and Sundance Elements Inks over the stencil onto the image panel. 
5. Use a water-filled Fine Spray Miste to mist water over the panel while the stencil is still in place. 
6. Trim the stenciled background to 5¼" square and heavily edge it with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. 
7. Adhere the background panel to the reserved 5½" square grey card.
8. Choose patterned papers from the Grunge Mid Tones 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad and the Ink Drops - Vivid 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad to match the colors of the stenciled background panel.
9. Use Nocturne and Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the butterflies from the Antisocial Butterfly Clear Polymer Stamp Set onto the patterned papers. 
10. Fussy-cut the patterned paper butterflies and edge them with black or grey markers. 
11. Adhere the fussy-cut stamped patterned paper butterflies to the card's front and use fine line markers to add antennae. 
12. Choose a sentiment from the Uplifting Sentiment Stickers 6 and adhere it to the bottom right of the card front as shown. 
13. Use a Quickie Glue Pinpoint Roller Pen to add sequins to the card as a finishing touch.
