Butterfly Shadow Box

I fell in love with this idea back at the Stampin' Up Regionals in September and after finally finding the shadow boxes I have created my first butterfly shadow box.

I have made the butterflies using Stampin' Up's! Flirtatious Speciality paper and cut them out using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. My mum has decided to make my daughter (6) a handmade quilt, so I couldn't get the matching Flirtatious Designer Fabric cut up into butterflies fast enough, so we could co-ordinate her room.

The shadow box should not have taken me very long at all, but my Physie teacher Pam, gave all her ladies a button necklace that she had handmade, for Christmas and it inspired me to get all my beads out of storage. So, it just turns out I have had to bead the body and antennae on these butterflies to jazz them up a little. I'm going to make three frames in total for her room. I hope you like my first one!
