Are you ready for more glittery stencil fun? 

We've had a lot of butterflies in the garden lately and there's even more beauties on Pinterest, making my decision on what to glitter very easy.   There are many butterfly designs in the Dreamweaver collection and for today's project I chose LL59, Three Butterflies.   If you've been following along on the double glitter challenge this month, you've probably committed the step to memory, but if this is your first visit, here's what to do:

Adhere one side of the double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) to card stock, leaving the protective covering on the top side until you are ready to position your stencil.   Rub the back side of the stencil with Handmade Hawaiian Coconut Soap (DHHS), making sure to cover the entire stencil.  This will keep the stencil from making a tight bond with the adhesive.  Carefully brush the soap "crumbs" from the stencil openings, making sure not to bend the stencil.  Remove the protective paper from the double sided mounting paper and position your stencil, soap side down.

Use removable tape or painter's tape to mask off the areas where you don't want glitter.   I used Art Glitter's #6 Dubonnet  opaque glitter for the body and outside edge of the butterfly wings (use a cut off straw as a scoop) and rub in with your finger.  Tap of excess and return to jar.  For the rest of the wings, I randomly scattered #196 Lion's Mane and #197 Flax.  For the greenery, I used #109 Calvado.  Place the glittered image, stencil side down, on a flat surface and begin removing the card stock.  Be sure to keep the stencil flat against your work surface, moving or "walking" your fingers along the stencil as you peel back the card stock so that the stencil always remains flat and does not bend.  Apply #86 Angel Dust to the exposed areas and rub in with your finger.  Trim the image, adhere to coordinating solid or patterned paper and you're done!
