Butterfly Lamp

Something new today (at least to me)...the Paper Fusion Creative Lamp kit. While at Dick Blick's, I came across these kits and had to try making one. These kits scream Stampendous Jumbo Cling stamps. I decided to use the Butterfly Trio.


I stamped the butterflies on the included panels, using Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink.


After coloring the butterflies with my Copic Markers, I stamped the Stampendous Music Score background in the whitespace. I used Tsukineko VersaMark Dazzle in Frost to give it a little sparkle and then spritzed the panels with Tsukineko Goosebumps.


I then inked the panels with Memento Summer Sky to bring out the Music Score image and the Goosebumps. I also stamped a flourish from the Stampendous Daisy Thanks set, also with the Summer Sky ink.


The lamp was easy to assemble. If I were to make another one, I would sand the frame and give it a gloss coat before putting it altogether but this was a fun project. Because these kits come in different sizes, I see a cluster of them on a side table, maybe with a different Stampendous Jumbo flower on each one.



Thanks for visiting!

    Love your lamp. What a fun way to use our Jumbo Butterflies!

    I couldn't help noticing your storage for the copics. Can you give me a link to a source for them?

      Thank you. My Copic containers are individual stacking wine bottle holders from Bed, Bath and Beyond. They stack together so you can add as many as you need.
