Butterflies of Summer Shadow Box

July 7, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 7 Comments

My sister-in-law is getting married in a few weeks so as part of her wedding gift I framed her invitation and made a wedding card to match. I’ve given many of these shadow boxes as gifts over the years and the the recipients always love that I’ve preserved one of there memories from there special day.

Wedding Invitation Shadow Box

Wedding Invitaion Shadow Box

I used Indie Art to make the 3-D butterflies along with tanzinite embossing powder to highlight the butterfly body. The weddding colors are turquoise, royal purple and silver.

To make the matching wedding card I used Gypsy Wanderings for the butterflies, welded together with a heart.
Thanks for looking!

I’m entering this into:

Cooking with Circut, Anything Goes Cricut Design Challenge #41.
Scrapalicious USA-Desgin Challenge #10-turquoise.
