My Graphic 45 altered project

This project was Cupcake crafts winner- thanks
This project was featured  on Passionately Artistic blog- thanks
This altered item is made with 3  recycled  dental supplies package cubes and a lot of Graphic 45 paper. So all cubes were covered with Graphic papers cut with a square die- it just was a perfect fit.

Then some of them- on  sides- were covered with another paper layer- made with one smaller square die. Three fronts were also covered with die cut frames-  not the same die set, but old square one with frames .

3 scalloped circles were cut with Scalloped circles dies using the back paperpad cover- another great recycling- and added on the tops of those cubes.

Then the embellish  process began:

Scroll die used on the left upper cube side with Life is beautiful sentiment.

The huge double cut from 2 dies butterfly was added over the lower cube over another small  die cut circle- this is an inside of the upper Round Frame. 

Another circle frame was made with  a Round Frame  die  for the front of the upper cube and then embellished with Leaves  die - a lot of cuts; Flower die set for the hand made flower; Bird and a birdhouse on the top cube, Fluorishes all over the project were the final touch around some  hand misted white Petaloo flowers. I also added some " from my junk box" items: pink pearls, clear crystals, a pin with a charm, ribbons, lace, tulle,  some small Petaloo flowers and so on and so on.. All project was heavy inked with Ranger distress inks and I love the final result.
