Inspired by Butterflies

Hi and welcome to day 4 (of 5) of MFT Teaser Time.  Today I have a "change of pace" product to share with you.  :)  I gained inspiration for this project from one posted on Lauren Meader's blog a long time ago.   I was inspired by the Inspired by Butterflies stamp set.  The set is so beautiful!


It's a fold-out box made with card stock and held together with a lid that slides on the top.  The sides are held together with ribbon strung through jumbo brads, and within the ribbon you can hold things like cards, envelopes, notepads, pens, etc.  Then, you'll still have room for a light-weight gift in the center of the box if you chose to do that.



I created 2 simple cards and stamped envelopes to place in the box, using the same papers (Basic Grey Stella Ruby) and colors.



On the lid, I created a 1/4" Rosette flower and then added a double-layer butterfly as an embellishment.  To create the butterfly, I stamped it twice with Versamark on white paper and clear embossed.  Then I used some pink Glimmer Mist to spritz it lightly.  Then, wipe it down and place to the side to dry.  Attach the 2 butterflies together in the center using red line tape, mold the wings as desired, and embellish with Swarovski crystals.  I added one of the sentiment included in the set.  The white thing peeking out behind the rosette is a Sizzix flourish die-cut.
