Sweet Baby Bitty Box

I have so many retired Stampin' Up! dies that I refuse to discard or forget about, and this is one of them.  It's from the Bitty Box and Envelope die and I still love it. For my box I wanted colors that weren't the typical baby colors, so I used the Sycamore Street DSP  and the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp set in the Sale-a-bration catalog for my inspiration.  I cut the center of the box with the smallest die from the windows frames collection and placed a piece of vellum behind it.  My butterfly was made with the beautiful wings embosslits. You always need ribbon, so a little bakers twine worked perfectly. My favorite trick is to use permanent colored markers on the pearl basic jewels, that's how I made the orange pearl in the middle of the butterfly.
