Butterfly Frame

I made this frame to hang in my girls’ room.  The 8×10 frame was only $3 and I designed the background with embedded butterflies using pretty much the same techniques as in my monogram tutorial.  I really like this look, and I love to touch the fuzzy vinyl!

The shapes from Silhouette I used are “circle_border_open_1226” and “butterfly_1510.”  I’ve used this butterfly quite a few times; I think it comes with the software as one of the basic shapes.  I didn’t want to throw away the perfect butterflies that come out during the weeding so I put them on the outside of my scanner.  I would have put them on my laptop, but my husband uses it as much as I do and I didn’t think he’d want to carry around a laptop with butterflies on it.  🙂

I hope this inspires you to try something like this!
