Instructions
Place card:
1. Cut white cardstock into a 2.25 inch square. Ink the edges.

2. Create butterfly by using 26 gauge rose wire and beads. Add beads to wire and bend the wire by hand into a butterfly shape.

3. Adhere butterfly to white cardstock square, using wire staples made from 26 gauge rose wire (see note below). Matt with hot pink and purple cardstock. Adhere to card.

4. Using 22 gauge wire, create swirls with long tails. Use matching 26 gauge wire to adhere to card.

5. Ink card edges.

6. Stamp “You’re the Best” onto card.

Making wire staples:
This is the best way to adhere wire projects to your page. To make a wire staple, cut an inch and a half of 24-gauge wire. (Use the same color as your wire project). Using the round nose pliers, grasp the wire piece you have just cut, in the center. Gently pull down the ends of the wire. You have now formed an upside down U. Poke two small holes into the cardstock where you want to adhere your wire project. Place your wire project onto the cardstock, and put your wire staple through the two holes you have just created. Turn the cardstock over and bend the wire open and against the cardstock. Use the round nose pliers perpendicular to the cardstock to curl the ends of the wire flat against the cardstock. Use as many wire staples as needed to keep your wire project in place.
