I also made a stepped up one in Yellow where I used the marbled background stamp and the petals and more framelits and butterfly framelits.
Aren't these boxes just adorable? I found that my favorite paper so far to use with the brusho powders in the white shimmer paper. For the box I was inspired by a youtube video made by Blossom Tree Papercraft.
Here's the tutorial.
- Cut a 4 ¼ by 4 ¼ piece of shimmer white cardstock. Stamp and emboss butterfly image from Beautiful Day set in white. Lightly wet image with Aqua Painter filled with water. Sprinkle 6 taps of blue prussian brusho powder for the blue one or 5 taps of yellow and 2 taps of moss green. Keep the powder to the lower 1/2 of butterfly. Using Aqua painter, brush over powder and work your way up for an ombre effect. Let dry.
2. Cut Whisper White Cardstock to 8 ¼ X 8 ¼. Score at ½,1,1 ½, and 2 inches. Repeat for all 4 sides. Then on 2 opposing sides score to the 2nd horizontal score line at 2 ½ and 5 ¾ inches.
3. Remove intersecting 2 inch squares in each of 4 corners.
4.
On opposing 2 ½ and 5 ¾ score lines, cut beveled edges
to
look like picture.
5.
Then punch 2 1/8th
inch holes in top of beveled edge like photo.using your favorite choice for adhesive- I used fast fuse, adhere
Butterfly square to center of shadow box.
6.
Cut 18” ombre ribbon and thread through punched holes.
7.Next
burnish all edges. Use tear n tape on top and bottom beveled edges
on the side facing table. Fold scored lines and attach to top and
bottom of butterfly. Make sure it makes a good square box shape.
8.
Next Apply tear n tape to straight sides on the outer most fold
and side facing table. Fold in one side at a time and tuck under
beveled edges. For better attachment use a little tombow glue or
glue dot on straight corner being tucked into beveled edge.
9.
Hold corners until glue holds. Add 3 sequins
