I started by first cutting my photo using the Picture Frame Die by placing it on my die cutting machine so the photo would be in the center of the die.

I did a second cut using my Picture Frame die but this time I cut a piece of pattern paper, once I had both the paper and photo cut I set them to one side.
Using my Sanding Block from Couture Creations I lightly sanded over the top of my paper to expose the kraft core of the paper.

I just love using misting mask and decided I would add a bit of detail to my patten paper with some distress paint.

I love, love the foam tape and wanted to let you see how I placed Annie's' photo up above the frame using a few strips of the foam tape.

I used my precision scissors to cut two butterflies from my papers, rubbed the wings with Pink Glitzin' Glamour. Once the Glitzin' Glamour was dried I glued the bodies together and bent the wings up so it would look like a butterfly in flight.

Here is another look of the frame and the embossed pieces, along with some of the pretty Pink Gemstones. Don't you think they are perfect for the layout of Annie.

I hope you try your had at using your embossing folders and die cuts on your layouts, it definitely gives your project more depth.

Hugs Pammejo.
