Purple (garden) Haze

Hope you are ready because this is a picture heavy posting.  My friend Darrell (from work) saw one of my garden boxes and asked me to make one for his wife in purple and with ladybugs.  It's is for her birthday in June.  I have a new MS punch that I think looks like a lattice and I wanted to try it out anyway so....here goes.

The flowers are handmade, the leaves are a punch, the ladybug was a button and the ribbon from Michaels.

The paper is DCWV and velum is used for the second set of wings on the butterflies (also a MS punch).

And, for the garden inside................ta da!

Magnolia doo-hickey dies for the butterflies, sizzix for the leaves, MS butterfly punch, flower soft for the grass and handmade flowers.  Half pearls in the top corners of the two unadorned sides. 

Here is a close up of the lattice.

And another shot of the inside.

I hope that you like this as much as I enjoyed making it.
