This was such a fun layout to do for Friday's class. You now the days when you search for photos to scrap and yet there is still a whole box full that needs to be done. Well these 2 just happened to pop out onto the table and there you have it. No huge life-changing philosophy apart from scrapping photos and getting them out of the box, and yet there's a story behind these 2 photos.

I used 2 pieces of patterned paper, some brown off-cuts and 2 pieces of cardstock for the background. The black strips along the edges of the red patterned paper is sewing with beads. And yes even though you may think it takes forever to do it really doesn't - and the effect is stunning. The butterfly is coloured with some glimmer mist (home made) and then cuttle bugged on the one side with an embossing folder for some dimension. The spots are...well holes punched with different sized hole punches for a stunning effect. I use old sticker letters for my title but gave them new life with a layer of paint.
