TGF's 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop!  This is for the holiday project entry.
 
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.

Inside view
Inside is a sentiment I typed on the computer and cut out using a Nestabilites die. 
While the box is a tad time consuming and requires exact measurements, it gives a dramatic effect and is actually easy to assemble. 

Not only do the participants have a chance to win one of TWO big prizes - one in each category of "holiday" and 'general" project categories. THREE grand prizes up for grabs!  Be sure to comment on each participants blog as you hop along and you will be entered to win the third grand prize.  Talk about awesome! 

Now, back to the TGF blog to pick up your next stop!

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog and you have fun!  Thanks for looking!  April
