Butterfly Curio Display

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with an altered item using my favourite ever new kit from Sarah Hurley called 'Curio' available here.
I started with a plain wooden house set of shelves and I printed out embellishments and papers from the kit to work with. I cut the Butterflies and Butterfly plaques out carefully and then covered with Glossy accents or Sepia Accents and left them to dry. I then cut the papers and placed them in random parts of the shelves. I then added the Curio sentiment at the top. When the accents were dry I placed the butterflies in the back of the shelves randomly.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Bloggers Challenge: Take Flight Challenge
Inspire Me Fridays: Anything Goes
Deep Ocean Challenges: Anything Goes
Top Tip Tuesdays: Things with Wings
D.L ART: Anything Goes
Make It Monday: Anything Goes
Eclectic Ellapu: Anything Goes
Vintage Elusions: Anything Goes

Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments, I really appreciate them :-)
