Watercolour Butteflies Card Set

I dislike wasting pretty printed materials. Tissue boxes come in such a huge and wonderful variety of  designs that they lend themselves perfectly for recycling. I have made several gift card sets in the past and they have all been well received.
So much so that they are my daughter's first choice of gift for her female colleague's at work. I usually make them with a specific person in mind but am finding that I am often given too little notice so I thought I would make a few sets to have on hand just in case.

This watercolour butterfly print from Royale is a current favourite. I'm a little picky, or shall I say OCD, and as the family room has purple accents the tissue box of course has to be purple. I therefore have quite a few of these empty boxes on hand.

Note these are fairly small boxes  so only have a few complete images. I was able to make  these three cards from one box.
