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!!!
I used Havanna Tilda and, using the masking technique, sat her on the New Year's Glass - I think she looks pretty elegant sat there, don't you?
I'm going to enter this altered box into the following challenges:
Love to Create Challenge - Use 3 of something (I've used 3 flowers)
Total Papercraft Challenge - Lots of Layers
Delightful Challenge - Bling and Bows (I used Pearls and a Bow)
Lovely hAngler and Sweet Magnolia - Anything Goes
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.

This is definitely elegant, Penni. I love your sweet Tilda and lovely color combo. Gorgeous black lace trim and flower makes the red colors really pop.

Wow! Yep this is very elegant! I just love this Tilda! And she looks perfect sitting on that fabulous box!! (i know what you mean about things that are far too nice to throw out, I have a stash too!). Gorgeous project.
Penni, this is a beautiful box, and yes, Miss Tilda does look elegant. Red, black and white is a colour combo that I think always look good together -- and very elegant when combined. Beautiful work.
Hi Penni, Yes Tilda is the personification of all thing elegant. Love it all, wonderful image and colours. Fabulous detail and layers.
