Whimsical vellum and acetate flowers with fluttering butterfly

Whimsical vellum and acetate flowers and a fluttering butterfly were the perfect embellishments for this dreamy photo of a pretty girl.

All embellishments on this layout were made usng Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies.
First, make the flowers by heat embossing several small and large classic petunias with Versamark ink and superfine white embossing powder onto heavy vellum and heat-resistant acetate.
Colour the vellum flowers at the back with Ranger archival ink vibrant fuchsia and a dauber.

Use a deep green ink such as Artistry green garland to colour the leaf sets.
Cut out the flowers and leaves using the co-ordinating dies.

 

 Pinch the petals of all the flowers on the middle line of each petal to shape.

 
Layer two flowers of the same size onto each other. I found that a hot glue gun works best for the acetate. Finish the flowers with a crystal-like centre.

Heat emboss one of the fluttering butterflies and cut out with the co-ordinating die.
Use the butterfly kisses die to cut out the round element. Die cit one of the regal pocket accents.
Cut out a tag from the classic petunia paper pack.
Mat the photo on white and on a green paper from the petunia paper pack.Some craft foam was used to lift the picture adhered to the white cardstock for a bit of dimension.
Assemble the layout as in the pictures.

  

 

 Finish the page off with a bit of stencilling with texture paste in the top right and bottom left corners of the page.
