I started with a piece of "faux marble" cardstock that had been made by someone else. (I got it in a box of "hand-me-downs" from a co-worker of my son. You can kind of see the different colors in the paper, along with the gold.) I stamped the birdbath on it and cut it out. I embossed with a Quickutz folder and cut a piece of cardstock to fit in the opening. I brayered in the grass and the sky, then stamped the blades of grass with a Repeat Impressions stamp. The butterflies were punched with a Martha Stewart punch out of more pre-marbled cardstock and then I added a pearl to each one. I matted with black.
