Description
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
Versamark Ink
Tiim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Mariposa

Inkadinkado Powder tool
I-Bond Hot Glue Gun
Kaisercraft Paper blooms
Ranger Industries Diamond Stickles
Value Craft red butterflies
