Page 1: For the first page, I built a delicate focal cluster featuring a vibrant yellow butterfly and layered tickets over a subtle background accented with stamping, Speckled Egg ink, and rub-ons.
Page 2: On the second page, I softened a background using flat spatula strokes of white paint, setting the stage for a dimensional framed floral bouquet.
Page 3: For the final page, I worked with a busier scene, toning down sections with paint. A statement door embellishment framed by a rub-on transferred onto fabric ribbon.
