Everything's layered and inked. The flowers on the cover are some of the new Recollections line at Michaels. I added a bunch of leaves I printed and cut out from a Fred, She Said Designs digi flower set. There's a fun pink chipboard flourish from my friend Silvia. I covered it with Tattered Rose Crackle paint. The butterfly is also from a FSS digi stamp set. I cut it out, colored it with Copic markers and covered it with Rock Candy Crackle paint. I did a lot of machine stitching on the matting pieces on this project.
This was so fun to make and hopefully will be a fun little extra something for my hubby. There's a complete list of supplies at the bottom of this post
