Egg-stra Special Box!!!

 
Hi

Today I've done a bit of altering / recycling!!!! 

I started with this

And ended with this

Impressive huh!!!

I have to confess that this is not an idea from my creative brain but that of my husband - oh yes !!!!  He has some quite good ideas from time to time, but let's not tell him, we don't want it going to his head LOL!!!

So, I guess you want to know how I made this transformation.  Well, first I removed the eggs LOL!!!

I removed the label and used this as a template to make a replacement out of patterned paper.  I tidied up the edges of the box and then sprayed it with some Gold Glimmer Mist.  I covered it with the patterned paper, matted and layered my image and embellished the box. 

I used this cute little chick stamp from Magnolia as my focal image, which I coloured using my Copic Markers.

I cut a rectangle of matching patterned paper to cover the egg info inside the lid and filled the box with chocolate eggs!!!

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges
