I opened the Silhouette file in Sure
Cuts A Lot software. Altered the size of the size to 7"w x
10"h. I only used the frame portion cutting it once for my main
card from white cardstock, then moving most of it off my mat
and cut again to get the butterflies. Used my scissors to separate
the butterflies from the frame.
I then moved it of my mat to only get
the frame portion of the card, flipping it over to get the butterfly
on the left side and then cut. Trimmed off the excess frame
following the contours of the design.
Masked off the border and inked the
flourish/butterfly with Versafine Vintage Sepia and embossed with
Emerald Creek Hot Stuff "Oil Rubber Bronze" embossing
powder.
Applied glue to the large butterfly
and sprinkled with Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter "Java
Bean" for the body and "Warm Highlights" for the
wings.
Inked the small butterfly with
Distress "Antique Linen", applied glue and sprinkled with
the warm highlights.
Sponged various colors of Distress on
the frame ("Broken China", "Mustard Seed",
"Picked Raspberry", "Peacock Feathers") masking
off the butterfly flourish, applied a generous coat of Distress
Crackle Medium and set aside to dry. Sponged "Ground
Espresso" all over.

The
under layer is part of the Tim Holtz "Faux Marble"
technique done on white cardstock using acrylic daubers on a craft
sheet, misting with water (I used Perfect Pearls "Perfect
Pearls" mist) and swishing your cardstock through the wet
paint, misting with more water, tilting etc to achieve the marble
look. This background was done as a 2nd generation through the
paint.. Dried and adhered to frame. Trimmed off the excess. Adhered
the glittered butterflies by the bodies only. Stamped
the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die
cut the word "Dream" from cream toned cardstock, sponged
with "Spun Sugar" and clear embossed. Adhered to frame.
