Nuvo Drop Butterfly DIY Card
From the Designer: "I have been using Tonic's Nuvo drops to add enamel accents to my projects as a final embellishment. I wanted to experiment with alternative ways to bring the drops to life. After being introduced to the glitter drops at the Blogger Event by Gary from Tonic, I decided to make the Nuvo drops the spotlight on the card by using them to fill in a stencil."

Instructions
-
Begin with a card base (either homemade or bought). The card base I used is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 when folded.
-
Take a stencil with a big solid image (such as a butterfly) and attach it using removable adhesive such as washi tape so the card and stencil don't move.
-
Hold the Nuvo Drops bottle against the cardstock and squeeze until you get a drop in the desired size. Be sure to stop squeezing before pulling up to avoid peaks in the enamel. Note: If you are right handed you should start from the left and work your way right until the stencil is full.
-
Alternate using as many colours as you like. Pull up the stencil carefully or you can remove the stencil after the drops dry to be on the safe side.
-
Let dry overnight in order for the enamel dots to maintain their original thickness.
