After creating the background with lots of modeling paste, stencils, paint and spray, I added a coat of embossing enamel to the chipboard butterfly then topped it off with a blossom.
I liked the way the pretty Blue Fern Flourish looked "naked" so, I left it as is and simply adhered a few blossoms in place.
Be Sweet ;)
