I decided that it had been ages since I had tried to do any altered art so found this little box which I am using to store buttons and thought I would make it prettier. You never know, I may even give it to someone as a present with some suitable contents.
I covered it with pink patterned paper, then stamped the corners with a crafty individuals stamp, distressed the edging, added pearl flowers, a lace ribbon, pearls and some prima flowers. Finally I stamped the crafty individuals elegant lady onto another pale pink piece of paper, layered it on brown then loaded it up. I am entering this into
TioT 'alter anything',
CCC 'alter it',
Speedy the cat's friends 'use lace',
Stamptacular 'Diva',
CCCB 'all dressed up',
Pile it on 'girls just want to have fun',
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Bingo (Prima flowers, pearls and distressing from one of the diagonals), and
Simon Says stamp (and show) 'anything goes' challenges. That is all from me for now. Have a great weekend everyone.
Love,
Caro

How "green" of you to recycle that terrific little box! You've really 'dressed' it up (sorry, couldn't resist that pun!). :) THanks for playing with Speedy's Friends!
Caro this is awesome. The vintage image looks lovely with the pretty lace and paper. This alter project is superb. What a great gift it would make.
