Hey, guys! It’s Jamie Pate. Wow do I love butterflies.
Paige’s Butterfly Background cut file is not new. But I did change it up and crafted it in a new to me way.

As you can watch in the video below, the cut file was sized down and also flipped. I wanted the photo to ‘look’ at the butterflies.

A second background was cut too. This second set was used to add an extra layer of butterflies to the first set. Before I took these sets off the mat, metallic gold paint, Blush Color Shine, and white pearl paint were splattered over the butterflies. I really love the effect of the paint on the pink background of the Whimsical Paper 01.

An additional butterfly was cut and added to the layers of embellishments around the photo.
