living in color

I used my Country Charm kit from
Scraps of Elegance  to create this beautiful altered tin box.

This was one of those tins that you get at stores like Michaels. Prima flowers came in it. I did a little recyling...

I used the cheesecloth that came in our kits to give the top a cupcake  look to it. The blooms and papers were also part of the kit.

The blooms on top of the box were Kaisercraft
ribbon roses in cream. I cut them apart and stitched them with a basting stitch so I could pull them a little tighter to form a more puffy rose.

This is the inside of the box. I can see some pretty jewelry in here either as a gift for someone or just to store your favorite treasures.
