I had a few difficulties with this card and am relieved to actually complete it. I don't generally do heat embossing but I thought I'd give it a go. I used two different ink pads and about 5-6 applications of embossing powder between heating and both attempts don't look that embossed to me so this one is one element short after admitting defeat on heat embossing.
I also had some difficulty adding the paper to the inside and wish I'd done it prior to sealing the "box" part up. I wasn't sure on the Hollyhock colour. I have a copic marker called Hollyhock and used that and then decided it looked nothing like the colour in the swatch so grabbed a different copic for the butterfly body and lower part of the wings.

The image is a clear stamp from Woodware. Colouring is with copic markers. The paper, tag and sentiment are from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.
I followed a tutorial for a Hanging Window Box Card
There is nothing worse than when embossing won't give a good result!
