This background was made using the instriutions and product in the Ranger/Dina Wakley: Mixed Media Techniques" kit. The one I chose for this was "Gesso Resist":
Next I die cut some butterflies from scrap card that coordinated with the background (magenta and cheddar yellow) and ran them through my Xyron sticker maker to attach them to the media board:
I added some Wink of Stella Clear to the patterned layer on all three butterflies and drew a Picked Raspberry drop shadow around the larger butterfly so it would stand out a little more. I then mounted the board on a card made from cheddar yellow cardstock.
