Junk Journal Madness - August - Flowers and Butterflies

Another junk journal to keep My Creative Flow, flowing.

This challenge is hosted by Susan, at iturtleyloveit on YouTube. The Theme, Items to Make and Items/Materials to Use were chosen by rolling dice. The challenge is to make 8 items and use 11 different items/materials as provided on two lists created by Susan.

The cover consists of a bubble envelope covered in fabric, which was attached to the envelope with a machine sewing. The front has been decorated with fabric butterflies and gem-stone flowers.
