Good morning my paddling chums (yes Patricia, I have left the heating on low for you chuck). Hope all is well with you.
Its been a while since I joined in with the Friday Oldie posting (started by a blogging chum of Patricia, Erika of Snappycrafts ) but as I was going to be making another of these boxes, it dawned on me that perhaps some of the newer visitors to The Pond may not have seen my butterfly box.
I featured it about 18 months ago so I hope it qualifies under the Oldie heading. I have made other versions since but as they have either just been a different colour or with a different lid, I've not thought to photograph and feature them.
Apologies for the photos as at the time I was, in the main, trying to catch the light at various angles to get the nice shadows (too arty farty for my own good sometimes lol!!!)
I cut all four side panels using the SB Butterfly Magic die and lined each with acetate to make it more sturdy. The top of the lid is decorated with SB Captivating Squares.
I kept this, the original one and it still casts lovely shadows in my bedroom.
For those of you who have been paddling for a while, I hope you don't mind seeing this again and for any newbies, hope it was worth re-posting.
Have a wonderful weekend folks.

ReplyDeleteI dont remember seeing it Ang, I thought it was one of Johns at first, so very well done you, I have a triangle box he made very similar to this, xxx
ReplyDeleteI think I've been following you for at least that long, and I don't remember it, but then the old brain isn't what it was, so I'm going to pin this one, and I'll be able to find it easily then, so thank you for posting it again.
ReplyDeleteFantastic box,love the colour.
ReplyDeleteIta.
This is a beautiful project whether you made it recent or past!
ReplyDeleteI think it is good to revisit items. We get caught up so much in the present that sometimes we need to stop & remember the past for our own good. And sometimes so we don't repeat past mistakes! Lol
Thank you for sharing this lovely box.
Afternoon Ang, a beautiful box that I don't mind seeing again. Would look good with a tea light inside (with the lid off of course !!) Have a great weekend. Janice x

Enjoy your weekend.

Love this superb Oldie for Friday.
I loved it when you first posted it, and am still in awe of the fab creative designing of this superb box.
The colour is so beautiful, and I just wish it adorned my bedroom.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
