Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft / Other

A friend's mother is about to celebrate her 65th birthday, and I created this box to house some photos (photos not currently pasted in).

Box opens up to reveal butterflies on acetate so they appear "floating" in the box.

The rhinestones are meant to look like cats' paws, as the photos inside the box will be of their pet cats.

Union Square paper from My Mind's Eye
Stamps from Kaisercraft Secret Bird Society
Kaisercraft Black pearls and Red rhinestones
Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink
Distress Ink blending tool

I-Bond Hot Glue Gun

Exploding Box: Happy Birthday w/Red Butterflies by =kendravixie possesses a beautiful composition of textures and colors, with many little details that make it stand out: the delicacy of the petals, the glitter that looks like dew, the butterflies that appear to be flying and even the little crystals that form paws. What a beautiful gift to receive! ( Featured by `Talty )
