Directions

Front Cover

1. Use the Painting with Powder Technique for the front cover. Ink entire cover with VersaMark ink and sprinkle various embossing powders on cover, tapping each one off and returning excess to bottle. Heat to set.
   
2. Ink Peony with VersaMark and emboss on cover with Clear Bark powder.
3. Ink Swirls with VersaMark and emboss on cover in Nutmeg.
4. Ink inside of cover with Versamark and emboss with Paprika.
5. Ink edges of cover page including window and emboss with Honey

Back Cover

1. Ink entire back cover with VersaMark ink and sprinkle Olive in general area where leaves and stem will go. Shake off excess and return to jar.
   
2. Sprinkle flower area with nutmeg powder, return excess powder to jar.
3. Cover rest of back with Caramel powder, return excess to jar and heat all three colors to set.
4. Emboss Hydrangea over the prepared background with VersaMark and Clear Bark powder.
5. Use VersaMarker to color highlights on flower petals and emboss with Honey powder.
6. Use VersaMarker to add highlights to stems and leaves and emboss with Lettuce powder.
7. Cut out large photo of butterfly and adhere to entire inside of back cover.

Acrylic Pages - Pages 2 and 4

1. Remove protective cover from acrylic pages.
2. On the back side of acrylic page use StazOn Refills and sponge daubers to cover the entire page with various colors. Allow to dry completely.
3. Stamp on top of the StazOn Refills with Black Versafine. We used the Jumbo Butterflies on page 2 and the Hydrangea on Page 4.
4. Use a dry paper towel to rub off the VersaFine ink. It will remove the StazOn in those spots leaving the acrylic clear where the stamped image is.
5. If desired spray the inked side to set it or emboss with clear or crystal powder (this may bend and warp the acrylic a bit)
6. For additional pages create background paper using the Dahlia stamp and various colored pigment inks. Position over page with holes and cut holes from background paper. Attach paper to chipboard page.
7. Stamp two small butterflies in black on light orange paper and color with pink highlights. Cut out and assemble with twisted wire antennae.
8. Place two photos to be seen through holes.
9. Prepare another background panel using the Dahlia to stamp in dark yellow on a light yellow page. Cover entire chipboard page so that acrylic butterfly stamp shows up against it and dahlia panel covers back of photos.
10. Assemble book and add ribbons to binder rings.
