Hi,there! It's been a while that I've been able to share some of my presentations... this one is from a recent class that I taught....
I'm pretty pleased by how this with how this came out...of course the Graphic 45 paper makes that job pretty easy - I was inspired by many other explosion boxes here at SCS though I can't name of the artist that inspired this specific one and for that I apologize profoundly!
Lots of measuring, cutting and layering -then embellished and distressed - with Gold & Silver Krylon pens, glitter pens, used MS border punches, spellbinder dies, Graphic 45 Papers and tags = Once Upon a Springtime Series - butterflies from K & Co Brenda Walton Flora & Fauna - outside I used Prima Say It with Crystals -
Lid is surrounded with Crocheted lace - the poem is from the internet - the figures are from the tag set- the crystals and pearls are from the Prima Say It with Pearls set
Just like all the others a fun time opening the box to have butterflies "fly" out - room for pictures, tags, quotes, gift cards and other fun stuff to give as a gift for Easter or Mother's Day!
Appreciate your stopping by! Thanks for lookingAnd thanks to all who shared this inspiration!
