Card Gift Box


I created the card box by painting the box with gold, sienna and green acrylic paints and then added a few stripes of matching scrapbook paper trimmed with micro beads. I embossed the butterfly then coated it in gold, brown and green micro beads and for an extra touch a piece of driftwood was added for a side pull to open the box. I used the following producs on the box.

Micro Beads from Pennywise Arts
Cloisonné butterfly stamp by Michael Strong's Rubber Stamps
Tree stamp by PSX Stamps
Dream stamp by Studio K - Inkadinkado
