The card stock butterflies I folded to bring their wings up, as if in flight. Some of the scrapbook ones I doubled, putting one directly on top of another to give it a 3D effect. Because of the depth of the shadowbox frame, there&#8217;s plenty of room for them to &#8220;flutter&#8221; their wings.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun take on a traditional specimen or botanical print. No butterflies are harmed in the making of this one! \ud83d\ude09 I think I&#8217;ll be making some more to offer for sale in the future, so feel free to contact me if you&#8217;re interested!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to my Jewelry, I&#8217;m also crafty in general.
