Roses and Butterfies exploding box

A birthday explosion box for my Mother in Law. She loves roses and bright pink.

I made the butterfly from Tim Holtz die cut and the flower from his tattered florals die. The lid has a vintage image which I photoshoped and typed Happy Birthday on it. I then glimmer misted the entire lid and glued on a pink rose trim around edge.


The box stands 6 inches high and is made from textured cardstock and scrapbook paper.

When opened out springs little butterflies flying around another tim holtz flower die with a pearl button center.

The box has only one center page as I just needed enough space for information on roses.
The first side has another vintage tag that I edited in Photoshop and information on roses in art.
The second page has a pocket with a pull out tag and vintage image and again more info on roses.
The tag I distressed with Tim Holtz ink and I used glossy accents on the rose bud.
The third page has more vintage rose images and information.

There is a butterfly that I cut from an old piece of DCWV cardstock stuck in the middle inside of the third page.
The last page has another pocket and again more vintage images.
Another photo of the flying butterflies.
A close up of the butterfly, It has three layers, the top is glittered scrapbook paper and then there are vellum papers underneath to give it a bit more body.
Thanks for looking,
Anna
