Basic Grey Challenge

Its the first Basic Grey Challenge of 2012, and we have a nice, easy theme for you ...
use new stash
but remember you MUST use at least one Basic Grey product on your card.

I decided to make a container for all my prisma pencils as I forget about them because I can't see them easily!!
I used Basic Grey Curio papers and brad, and the new bit is the TH butterfly stamp set ... I got a few of the rubber Stampers Anonymous sets for Christmas.  I stamped the butterflies in mahogany DI onto a distressed panel so they go the whole way round the tin. I added some grungeboard butterflies painted using alcohol inks (not tried that before and LOVE the effect), some lace and a little banner created from a WOJ die set. Finally I added a couple of buttons with tulle tied behind using tulle.
