    Thanks for sharing your lovely memories of your Grandmother. How wonderful that she inspired you to create a glorious butterfly which would also be gorgeous on top of a parcel for someone special. I'm glad I did not purge my UTEE last time I purged my crafting supplies. 🦋🦋

    So very pretty! I used a paint pen and labeled my versamark pad tops “dirty,” and “clean.” When I use the clean one mostly up, I put the top labeled “dirty” on it and take my “clean” top and put on the new pad. Then I throw out the old dirty pad and extra top and I’m set for another 9 months or so. I thought I was the only one who continued to use a dirty pad!

      It did cross my mind to do that that this time, it’s the heating from underneath which is trickier, but the butterfly was large enough to be able to do it half at a time. Great suggestion though 🥰

    That butterfly is so pretty, and the products you used to color it are just fab. When I was a little girl I gave my mom a butterfly brooch for mothers day. It was a massive green one, bestudded with rhinestones. I'm sure to me it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.😂 She did wear it to church that mother's day..not sure about any other day. ;) When my mom passed in 2017 there in her belongings was the massive butterfly brooch. ha Good memories.

    Those butterflies are simply só gorgious! Thx 4 sharing! BTW especially with the ultea high powder, you can add the next layer right after you put on the first layer, it will stick fabuously without the versafine, like you do with the stars, and saves so much time and effort, works like a charm, also with regular powder if you are fast.

    UTEE seems to have fallen out of favor recently but I love using it for things like this. I tend to do small flowers. I think it makes them come out so lovely. The butterflies turned out so stunning. Grandmas are truly a gift. Mine had an enameled jewelry set (earrings, necklace, bracelet) of hearts with a scene of Lake Tahoe that I still possess. Unfortunately, the earrings aren't for pierced ears and they hurt my ears or I'd wear them. It seems that with a little build up those butterflies of yours could be made into pins. BTW - I love Nuvo confettis and I also wait for bundles usually.

      I add magnets to the backs of elements like butterflies. I then attach them to my card fronts with another magnet - either hidden under the card front or attached to an acetate disk so they can spin on a channel. They can then be detached and used as a magnet for the fridge or if I create a spinner card, the acetate disk can also be removed and they act as a kind of brooch. It's not very strong but could certainly allow them to be attached to a sheer curtain for example. I can point you to a blog posting of mine which has a picture tutorial if you're interested!
