Unfortunately it was hard to capture the glimmer of light in a photo, but here we go!
Now the front isn't that exciting to look at....but wait for it!
Dies; Memory Box Butterfly Exhibit.
Spellbinders Labels 4.
MFT Notched Border.
Chipboard Heart.
Button.
Baker's Twine.
Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.
Designer Papers by Craft Smith, Tea Party.
There are 4 inside panels to decorate. I cut the 2 middle panels out using Spellbinders Classic Ovals dies. Then I covered the openings with Vellum. On the inside of that I adhered 2 different die cuts; Wildflower Corner and Butterfly Exhibit both by Memory Box. These are the windows that the tea light will shimmer through.
Dies R Us Butterfly #2 set.
MFT; Stitched Traditional Tags, Open Bracket Border and Fancy Flourish (cropped).
Rhinestones.
Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set.
Bermuda Bay ink.
Gingham Ribbon.
(blurry) Lighted Butterfly Window.
Fully opened, and it folds flat and fits nicely into an A2 envie.
Battery Operated Tea Lights from the Dollar Store make these very economical to make.
Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!
