If you arrived here from the super cool Monica - Simply Cricutting then you are in the right spot! If you just happened to stop by my page and want to start at the beginning (which of course, you should!), then you will want to start with Sandra herself! There is a list at the bottom of this post in case you get lost. There is bound to be some awesome candy along the way and if you are interested in winning a little something from me, then be sure to become a follower and leave a comment with a way for me to reach you. I will send a little handmade card and a few little fun items to the winner. I will be drawing winners for all of my previous hops and this one by the end of this week.
Now onto my project! This is quite picture heavy, but it had to be to show all the different layers and dimension. Basically I used the Mariposa stack and took some of my favorite pieces, fussy cut them and layered them to make an awesome framed picture. If you look really close, you can tell that there is adorable birdcage foiled matting around the whole thing, then a layer of black matting, then all the different pieces. The butterfly wing is cut out to pop it up and the bird cage is a completely separate piece that is pop-dotted with a Recollections bird pasted on top of it. I left the glass out of the frame so all of the dimension could show through. Also, look closely at the moth panel... You'll see it flip up to reveal one of my favorite Jillian Vance stamps that says "Live Your Legacy". I stamped it in a color that worked great on solid black, but not faded black, so had to draw over it with a gel pen, but I love it anyways! Hope you all enjoy!
Look closely to see the background birdcage foil paper...
The birdcage with flowers was fussy cut and pop-dotted, the moth/butterfly was cut around the wing only to make it 3-D...
The interactive flap...

Well, there you have it! My little work of art. I think I'll either sell it or hang it up somewhere. :0) Here's the list in case you get lost. Your next stop is the awesomely talented Corri. Don't forget to leave me a comment and become a follower for a chance to win a little candy!
Thanks again for stopping by today!
