Julia, I had so much fun playing in the challenge today! I LOVE butterflies! I love added them just as a little touch to a card, or making them the main focus! They are just so pretty!!
Although, my husband won't read this, *I will read it to him,* I'd like to THANK him for watching our youngest so I could close myself in my craft room for a few hours and make this collection! If he wasn't here I wouldn't have been able to finish this till MUCH, MUCH later!! I think I might owe him! I'll take care of the dirty diapers today!
I didn't make a purse, and I didn't make a box like Holly did! *I might try to eventually, though!*
I made three cards and a tiny box to set some Hershey Kisses in! *or some other small candy*
The card with the 5 boxes on it took me the longest *obviously*... I was going for a quilt look! This kinda reminds me of a little tea house or something!
The smaller card, with the large fabric butterfly with lace and pearls took a little longer than I expected, too. But not nearly as long! After I made the butterfly I didn't know what to do with it. And when I laid it down on some Pink Pirouhette, it hit me. So I put it together as fast as I could.
I made the little box with the SU! milk carton die. I cut the top of the milk carton and used my scraps from the first card to match the rest of the set!
There is another card I made to go with this set, but I couldn't fit in into the main photo! If you look in my gallery you can see the other card! I'll try to get a better photo in a bit!!
I hope you like these creations of mine!
Thank you Julia for this AWESOME "WT" challenge!! Butterflies was a beautiful choice!!
I don't know WHY I can't get away from making girlie, girlie things... but Oh well!!
**To get a closer look at the cards and the box, check out my gallery! I took individual photos of them all!**
