The edges of the white butterfly wings was sponged ever so lightly with Time Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo, and the finished butterfly was embellished with rhinestones. I used an action wobble to attach the butterfly to the card, and with a flick of the wrist, it looks like it's ready to take flight!
