Place pearl flourishes onto frame as shown. To tone down the flourishes just a bit I lightly rubbed over them with Alcohol Ink (I had a piece of brownish/yellowish dried felt in the drawer with my alcohol inks and by just adding a bit of Blending Solution to it, it was just right to lightly rub over the flourishes toning them down without really adding color).

Glue butterflies to frame shaping (curling) the wings as you put them on.
