Ready to create a one-of-a-kind greeting card with a realistically painted, truly flapping butterfly inside?

Following along with the video tutorial below, you will learn how to paint and assemble a butterfly on the inside of a general greeting card, which can be used for any occasion, ranging from birthdays and graduation days to “just because” days. The butterfly is going to have a “pop-up” or “fluttering” effect, too, making it all the more special to give to a loved one or friend.
