Just a note
• Quill a large butterfly following the steps below. To make one length of quilling paper, glue dark purple shape, 10cm, light purple, 20cm, then pink, 20cm, together, then create a smaller one from dark purple, 5cm, light purple, 10cm, then pink, 10cm. The bodies of the smaller butterflies are made from a 10cm length of light purple.
• Take a strip of purple card, 12cm x 23cm, then make two 6cm horizontal cuts 7cm and 9cm away from the right edge and 4cm up. Score six lines vertically to make three 4cm squares, which act as 'steps'.
• Stencil yellow card, 10.5cm square, and shape the right side to follow the direction of the steps on the purple blank, then matt. Stamp or write 'Just a note' onto yellow, die-cut into a circle and ink the edges. Mount to the topright of the blank using foam pads
• Fix quilled butterflies onto the blank to finish.
