Melodies of Nature - Apricot Roses Book Easel KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Printed on matte photo paper and printed Janette Padley's cup341338_1749 backing paper to back the card where instructed in the tutorial-perfect complement to the card!

I used a glue stick for gluing large sections, foam pads to attach the easel stopper and sentiment panels, and silicone gel for the decoupage.

Before adding the decoupage, I glued on some pieces of distressed paper doily and used a walnut distress ink pad to color the cut edges of the main card.

Before cutting out the large butterfly, I covered the back with cello tape to strengthen the skinny areas. For the small butterfly, I just cut them off :-) Added the butterflies with silicone, raising the wings slightly. Finished with a few "jewels" and made the lovely matching envelope. Gorgeous kit!
