Here is the template for stamping the paper (dimensions are written on the template):

Stamp the butterfly image over the A3 card, you can use one colour per stamp or use your markers to multi-colour your images. In the top right corner, you will need to stamp one butterfly that can be cut out using the Elegant Butterfly punch. This is your patterned paper for the card set. Cut it up based on the dimensions above.

2. Attach a 14.35 x 10cm piece of Gumball green card.
3. Attach card 1 piece from the patterned paper, attach the 13.85 x 3cm Gumball Green Card across the front of the card. Using 2 pieces of Gumball Green card (10 x 2cm), trim one side using the Adorning accents (scallop trim) edgelits and attach to the back of a piece of 10 x 3.5cm Whisper White card and attach to the front of the card.
