Butterfly Shadowbox

Hey everyone!!  Did you see the June issue of the Cricut Magazine yet??  I have a couple of projects that are published in it and I wanted to share one of them with you today.  This Butterfly Shadowbox is featured on page 106 of the June 2012 issue.  You may have also spotted this one in the Cricut Mini infomercial that came out about 6 months ago....... ;)

I used my Cricut Mini to cut this along with the Craft Room Basics and Indie Art Cartridges.  I cut the butterflies out in four different colors/layers and then put them together with some adhesive and c curled the wings a little so that you could see the different colors.  


I added all of the pieces into the shadowbox frame (that I got at Hobby Lobby) with foam adhesive so that there is quite a bit of dimension in the piece.  The pattern paper I used is from Echo Park and the ribbon is from Stampin' Up!  I used a variety of cardstock from my scrap pile and the "LIVE in the moement" sticker is from SRM Stickers.  I will share my other project that was published in issue with you all soon....if you have a copy of the June 2012 issue, you can take a sneak peek on page 22 to see my other project.


I also wanted to share with you all that Provo Craft has let the Cricut Circle design team go and so I am no longer a designer with them.  It was really fun to join them over this last year and I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to share my Cricut projcts with the Circle members.  It was awesome to design along side some of the most talented designers in the scrapbooking industry.  I still plan on designing with my Cricut machines and so I hope you will continue to visit.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs,

Amy
