Love One Another

Box Closed

It is week two of my guest design month over at Layers Of Color.  I am using the set 
Flutterescent Butterflies for my project today. 


Butterflies Completed Open


I had been wanting to try one of these Explosion Boxes.  They are really easy and fun.
I stamped my butterflies multiple times, colored them and then cut them out.  I found a text digital paper and printed that out for my squares.   I then used Layers Of Color's Natural Flourishes art stencil with some soft pink ink and sponged it over the text. 

 
ButterfliesCloseUP verse 

I used one of my favorite verses.. I saw it printed like this on another website and 
cased it in Photo Shop Elements.   

 
Butterflies Folded 

This was a fun project. I gave it to a friend for her birthday.  A great way to give just a little something extra.  These butterflies are perfect for this type of project.  Thanks so much for visiting today.. Want to check out more Layers of Color stamps and  goodies. Visit them HERE.

    Beautiful box! I did a couple of these a while back with the floating elements. I like yours better with the butterflies attached to the different sides. TFS!

    What a creative and beautiful project! I've seen these 'explosion boxes' before but have never tried making one. My son would probably get a kick out of it! I should try one sometime.
