Butterflies!

Hellooooo!  If you love butterflies then this week is just for you!  We are celebrating them all this week!  I have chosen to decorate and teensy 2x2inch wooden box that I found in my stash.



I lightly painted it with *DecoArt Cobalt Teal Hue* so that the wood grain still showed through.  Then I took the lovely new *Mini Mask Leaves * and stencilled white acrylic through it on the sides of the box.  While that was drying I painted the little *butterflies* from the mini range first in white, then dry brushed with the teal.  I added some wire and beads as shown.


I then painted a piece of burlap white (although it still looks cream in the photo) and glued it underneath the butterflies on the top of the box.

Do pop back for some more fluttery inspiration and thank you for popping by today, HUGS Karen x

finishing touches to it.
