Hi

Its time for another challenge over at Midweek Magnolias.  This week our theme is "Elegance".
Here's what I've made.



I've altered / recycled an empty chocolate box - It was a beautiful sturdy glossy black box, far too nice to just throw out, so it found it's way to my craft area to await transformation!!!

Total Papercraft Challenge - Lots of Layers
Delightful Challenge - Bling and Bows (I used Pearls and a Bow)
Alphabet Challenge - L is for Lace
Papertake Weekly - All Things Girlie
Creative Inspirations - Altered Art / Anything but a Card



RECIPE:

Empty Box
Stamps: Magnoilia Havanna Tilda and New Year's Glass
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Colouring Medium: Copic Markers 
Papers & Card: From my stash
Tools: Heart Die, Magnolia Doo Hickey Tag
Embellishments: Ribbon from The Ribbon Girl, Lace and Pearls from my stash.  Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you can stop by The Midweek Magnolias' Blog and see how the rest of our team have interpreted this week's theme.  I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspiration for our challenge.
