You have no idea how much torment you are putting me through, all these crafters entering your Butterfly challenge, I am surrounded by them. lol. But I am so glad that it has gone down well for you.

Oh my goodness, Mrs. A - this box IS classic elegance! The papers, the embellishments, the beautiful rose and that butterfly...oooohh, the butterfly...GORGEOUS x awesome! Love this! Hugs~c (oh yes, the sequins....I'm terrible with using them, because I'm never sure where they 'ought' to go! The 'queen of sequins' is Kim, over at Joyfully Creating with Kim...she sure knows where to place her little sparklies for maximum impact. I just fudge it!!)

Love your box. It looks very beautiful with a rose at the front and a butterfly at the top. The lace as it's border gives a rich look.

Your box is beautiful Mrs A - the rose exquisite. It's a gift in itself, love it!

Funny you should say I could have used faux leather for my camera card as I've been totally addicted to that technique ever since seeing Sheena's video - just finishing off some little book covers at the moment .... great minds think alike! xx

Bonnie said...

This is awesome! I LOVE those pink flowers on the neutral box! (BTW, I think elves are probably much harder to sew than clothes. I'm not going to try them to find out though!)

Cathy said...

I have missed so many of your beautiful creations. I especially love this box. Must have a look at CS website to see if the pattern is still there. I am working on something right now which should fit your the Craft My Life and your Butterfly challenge too. Will get going later this week! xx
