The Sisterhood of Crafter's Challenge

Happy Wednesday Everyone!  It's time for another challenge at The Sisterhood and today's hostess, Diane has asked us to "Celebrate Moms".  

Time is flying and Mother's Day is right around the corner (May 8th) so it's a great time to get that card, gift or layout designed for Mom.  A friend has requested a Tea Cup Explosion Box for her Mother-in-Law so that is my project today.

 (Box Closed)

 (Box exploded open to exposed the teacup inside)

The teacup can be filled with some butter mints, Hershey kisses or just coordinating tissue paper . . . endless possibilities.  Here is a closer look at the tea cup . . .

The items used on this project are:

Paper -  pink, white, and  old olive cardstock, pink & purple vellum, designer paper for lid

Tools - Martha Stewart Lacy butterfly punch, butterfly border punch & Monarch butterfly punch, Sizzix TeaCup Die, Spellbinder classic & scallop oval Nestabilities, Sizzix Flower, Branches & Leaves dies, Punch Bunch flower punch, Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder, Stickles (flower centers), Spellbinder Fleur de Lis Nestabilities die, Tim Holtz distresser, Glitter Art glue

I thought you might like a closer look at the lid.  OH nearly forgot, I've also used a glue pen & Deco Art Glamour Dust on the wings of the butterflies.  That little 'added sparkle' is just perfect!
