My project is a butterfly box using SU's Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Recollections robin egg blue, cherry, and designer papers from DCWV's This Christmas stack. The image is from TGF's Tea-rrific photopolymer clear mount stamp set and is colored in copic markers. It was cut and embossed using Nestabilities classic circles and mounted on a lacy circle using dimensionals. The border punch is Martha Stewart's scary fence, but I cut off the bat wings, and added pearls. The finishing touch is a bow tied with a pink button.

While the box is a tad time consuming and requires exact measurements, it gives a dramatic effect and is actually easy to assemble.
