Punch Holes Around the Edge of the Card
Draw a scalloped edge on your card and cut it out with an ordinary pair of scissors. Using the Dremel 7700, punch holes around the edge of the card using the diamond wheel point. You can do this either in a straight line or in groups of three.
Draw a Borderline and Sprinkle Embossing Powder
Use the embossing pen to draw a borderline inside the card borders and small flowers in each corner using one of the new Dremel templates. Sprinkle embossing powder over the pen lines and shake off the excess powder.
Emboss the Powder Using the Dremel VersaTip
With the Dremel VersaTip equipped with the hot air tip, carefully emboss the powder by holding the end of the tip a couple of inches away from the card.
Cut Out a Butterfly Shape and Decorate
Cut a piece of card, fold it in half, and glue the embossed card onto the front. Cut out a butterfly shape and decorate it with the embossing pen and powder. Heat the powder with the VersaTip. Glue the butterfly body to the front of the card and raise the wings away from the card to give a 3D effect.
