Anything but a card + Use a Dragonfly

This fortnight at Crafting with Dragonflies our theme is Anything but a Card + Use a Dragonfly.

I was partly inspired by the ribbon spool box tutorial at Mel Stampz, but the plastic spool I used opens up like a box, so it was easy to alter. The spool originally contained white silk ribbon from May Arts, and I've been saving it for a really long time!

The Crafting with Dragonflies Challenge owner, Hilde, is sponsoring this challenge and is offering this great freebie Dragonfly digi stamp if you want to use it:

I created the pink background in SCAL and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo, but the fine lines on the dragonfly didn't cut well so I printed it on the same pink paper and added some color with Copics and gel pens. I embossed the white top with a polka-dot folder and added yellow neon ribbon. The little flowers are cut with a Sweet Cuts set.

The covers were cut with a circle die, and I was able to use a slightly smaller die to cut the frames & insides. Worked almost perfectly. I wrapped the outside with more neon ribbon and a fun patterned ribbon. I added a string of gems to cover the seam.

The wood flower & leaf on the side were painted with neon orange and green Liquid Pearls.

Here's the box opened up:
