TLC203 purple box front
Added to Favorite
xxxx

Photo Details
Poster: lacyquilter

 Created for the technique lovers challenge. I had no trouble at all with the origami box part of this, but when it came to the cover... I measured carefully and the chipboard fit perfectly until I covered it with the dp and then the top wouldn't close flat. It just popped right back up. So short of redoing either the box or the cover, I ended up making a tab with magnetic snaps (once I found them -- another story).

I used Spellbinders dies butterflies 2 and sunflower set two, with lots of sponging. I used a stylus to work the flower and give it some dimension. The butterfly also has gold rub-on paste on it.

The dp I got for pennies when a local craft store closed. I bought every piece they had.

Stunning! I love the extra panels you added to your box ... makes it look almost like it has drawers. Beautiful paper. Great job.
