Make it Elegant Challenge

Time for another challenge over at A Place to Start and the theme of this challenge is to make it Elegant. The challenge is anything goes - it does not have to be a card.  

I decided to make two projects for the challenge, a card and an altered box in the elegant theme.

I used this lovely image from Graphics Fairy for my card.  I love this flapper style image.  The dresses in that era are stunning.  

The ladies were coloured with copics, pencil crayon, Nuvo, stenciled background with Panpastels, Wink of Stella and a glitter pen.

For my second project I decided to alter a tin heart box I had in my stash.

This is the box I altered. I purchased several of the boxes at a thrift store several years ago.

I am going to use this box I altered for the container I need for a friend's birthday gift.

This is my altered box.

I have used gems from a dollar store along with a Stamperia mold, die inks and a fabric butterfly from a fabric store.  Once I got my box decorated the wave I wanted I added Pentart gold wax to give the box more elegance and shine. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Join in the fun and create an elegant card  and enter it here.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.
