L = lavender-coloured vellum, Milled Lavender ink
O = oval
V = vellum
E = embossing
The background in the oval is a piece of iridescent vellum - to me it looks like the colour of lavender flowers. I ran the vellum through an embossing folder to give it texture, set it behind an oval aperture, and added a butterfly to it, popping up the wings with foam tape.
The butterfly was created by taking a few colours of Distress inks and tapping them on my craft sheet, spritzing liberally with water, and pressing some mixed media cs into it. When dry, I die cut the background of the butterfly out of a section that would give vibrant colour closest to the butterfly's body, and the paler colours out on the edges. I die cut the butterfly outline from a scrap of mixed media cs and glued it over the top.

Oh wow, that vellum is beautiful. I recognise the ef but it almost looks as if you had drawn the design with ink. Great work positioning the butterfly on your WFD piece with the paler colours along the wing tips.
