Hello, Beautiful...Card In A Box

 Good Morning!

This card will be entered into the 

at My Favorite Things!

This Challenge is for the Box Card Master.

I read the rules numerous times and I did not see anything about using the MFT Box Card dies, so I went ahead and created my own by, hand cutting and scoring.

I found this video by Sandi McIver.

This is the piece of card stock I started with, it measures 5 1/2 x 9 inches.

Score at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8 and 8 1/2.

Turn.

Score at 2 3/4.

Cut at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8 and 8 1/2 til the 2 3/4 line.

Cut off the side tab at an angle.

Here is my creation:

So FUN to make and decorate!

I adore these colors!

 I did some 'ink smooshing' on these beautiful butterflies!  

Distress Oxide inks in;

Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry and Spiced marmalade.

Swiped the inks on to an acrylic block, spritzed with water and then laid the die cuts into the puddling colors.  So fabulous!

Acetate Strips--the butterflies are floating!  ;)
