My husband colored the image for me using copics...BV01, B29, Y13, YG09, W0
The stamp is Violets (Large) I know the flowers look Blue in the photo but they are honestly a "violet" color in real life, the bow and butterfly are Purple partly colored with a gold gel pen.
It's rainy here today, so I can't take the picture outside...the sun did come out for a very short time,
but not long enough for me to get outside and try taking a pic in the sun.
I added a Gold bead for the butterfly head, and dimensionals under my frame to pop it up. I cut out my window frame using Spellbinder's Grand Ovals. I dry embossed my frame using an Embossing folder from Anna Griffin, and used Versamark and Ranger Fine detail Gold embossing powder to heat emboss the frame, hoping it would give it an antique look. My butterfly was punched out with a Martha Stewart punch.
