I loved Queen Irene's gallery. I especially loved this teal rose box. Teal being one of my favorite colors, plus the rose made it a no brainer for me. I got a little carried away with my box and it was too big for just one rose, so I have 4 on mine, and a butterfly just happened to land on the rose. On the inside I have panels with scripture on them. I decided to make my butterfly pop up on a paper spring. I made my dp. I had a very old flowers stamp. It has no name on it. I stamped the flowers in green all over my white cardstock. I then ink-spray-smashed the box with green and brown markers. I then distressed the edges of each panel with brown ink. Queen Irene, I hope you have a blessed wonderful reign!!
