SHAPE UP or SHIP OUT!

Well, not really.....but you don't want to miss the boat on the next CAARDVARKS CHALLENGE!!

It's all about SHAPED CARDS and it's been a tonne of fun seeing all the DT cards this round...be sure to visit the challenge link above to check them out. FABULOUS!

Anyhoo, the prize this round is a 3 month subscription to SNR - one FABULOUS magazine!

So think up a shape and get creating!

I made the template for this butterfly myself, but have included it here for you if you'd like to try it out.

Just open the photo of the pattern in a new tab and print it out.

***TECHNICAL Difficulties!! Trying to fix this so you can print it :)

The top part of the wings are to be placed on the fold of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 top fold card base.
The large outline is the card base. The inside outline is to be cut from patterned paper.

Enjoy :)
