This picture of my friend Airynne was sepia toned when I scanned it in, so I spent some time to selectively tint it and then flatten it
After copying it to the layout, I set the layer to lighten and masked unwanted parts. then I duplicated and set it to darken, again masking unwanted parts and adjusted opacity to my liking.
I then used one of the gorgeous papery from the Passages kit as the background. I copied the part of it that contained the butterfly and blended it in on top.
I also used the swirly frame behind the picture to highlight it some more.

"Butterflies bend with the wind, it's true.
Still they get where they want to go.
They arrive by persistence through their own insistence...
A lesson more people should know."
