AN ALTERED BOX

I started off with a box - oh dear - I should have photographed it first :(

and used TH distress ink pads to age it.

The images featured are from  the Nicecrane Designs Sheet called Old Fashioned Women 

I added the following embellishments : 

Metal corners, recoloured with alcohol ink and embellished with glass beads

I made paper roses coloured the edges of the petals and spritzed them with an ageing mist;  the leaves are diecuts

The flourishes are peel offs that have been recoloured using Copic markers

I made a lace, glass bead, pearl and ribbon rosette:

There is a faux latch, made with a diecut and a pearl

Here is a side view showing the dimension :

Thanks for stopping at my blog today.
