C066 Mulberry Paper Collage

Prepare card by folding 8½ x 51/2” burgundy cardstock in half. Crease fold with a bone folder. Mount with 51/4” x 4” white cardstock. Set aside.


Tear different colored mulberry papers into pieces varying the size and shape. Using a glue stick, apply torn mulberry paper to 5 x 33/4” white cardstock or sticker paper until the surface is covered. Wrap and glue the mulberry paper to the back of the cardstock.


Cut a length of gold thread approximately 36” long and wrap around the collage. Adhere the ends of the thread to the back. Mount to card.


Layer a large cancelled postage stamp onto a burgundy cardstock scrap. Trim with fancy scissors and adhere to the top left corner with mounts.


Swipe 3” x 41/2” burgundy cardstock with a static bag. Gold emboss the butterfly 03.054.M page 14 and Cut out. Curl the wings and glue only the body to the bottom right hand corner of the card.
