Inspirational Challenges

Gail at Mind Wide Open hosts a monthly challenge. She provides an inspirational image that must be used in some creative way in your design. 
Here is the image she provided for the March challenge. 



I was inspired by the image to decorate a square chipboard box.  


I digitally added a quote to the original image. 
The butterfly lady is from one of Gail's digital sheets that she sells in her Shabby Cottage Studio Store. I printed the image, cut away the background, and added color with pencil crayons. 
Some of the butterflies are stickers. 
The entire box is coated with Diamond glaze. 
Stickles glitter outlines the edges. 
A border of white and copper metallic rick-rack edges the box bottom and lid.



The pink upper wings on the large butterfly under the woman are actually wings from a broken faux butterfly. 



 I didn't photograph the bottom of the box but if you're wondering... yep, there are butterflies on the bottom too.

With all the pink in the image it's perfect for a Pink Saturday Blog Party. Hop on over to visit Beverly, our P. S. hostess at How Sweet The Sound
