Vintage Butterfly Garden

I made this over the weekend while I was playing with roses for my design team and doing housework..lol. I really love the yellow roses that are in my Etsy shop. I wanted to try them out on a layout. The first thing I found when I was searching for the paper I wanted, was these paper doilies. I used my homemade glimmer mist green and gold. I loved how it turned out. I used that when I was looking for the paper for this layout.  

The paper I used was from the "Mariposa" collection by DCWV. I love this collection and when my mom got me the stack for Christmas I couldn't wait to play around with it!

My grandmother made these for me. She made them on her embroidery machine. I love these!! They took to the glimmer mist very well. I also added some gleams paint by Decoart on some of it, along with the Dazzling Metallic paint by Decoart.

Then comes all my handmade paper flowers that I did on this layout. I tend to make my own flowers since I'm on a budget..LOL. I'm a SAHM and we have 5 kids, so I can't always get the nice designer products. So I had to figure out a way to make my own and I think I do a pretty good job on them!

I hand made all the flowers and embossed all the leaves and petals you see here on this spray. The only thing I did not make are the little dark pink berries that peek out on the side of some of the flowers.

I hope do some more layouts and this one will be available on my Etsy shop soon!
