~Make My Day Birthday Bash 1~Pink and Gold Altered Box~

I had a giveaway on my other blog and needed a box for that item so I bought a set of 3 different sized boxes in this lovely brown... ok its not quite lovely but its great for me to alter in to something more attractive.

This is the smallest of the boxes and here is what I came up with....

Since its the start of the Chinese New Year I decided to think of something along the lines of it as last year I created a bookmark for the event. The pink paper has dragons on it (for the year of the dragon), I then added punched flowers, gems and this medallion peel off in layers. Its simple but I love it.

Inside the box I've added lots of used stamps for you to craft with or to decorate your letters... I'm sure you'll think of something.

Make My Day..... Sunset and Dance Nights....

I've had this card sitting on my desk for about 2 weeks now waiting to be completed as I only managed to get as far as the iris folding which I was inspired to do as I was working on the previous cards.

The Iris folding is the part in the middle... which has ended up completely lost in the background I know.... I've no idea when this card got so fussy....

I love working with vases so added this vase and wire ribbon that I bought a long time ago...

This side was looking a little empty compared to the rest so I added my lines....

I finished it with the words 'I'm so sorry' which was a request and added the buttons.... yes I know super fussy. I do have an idea for something to do with forgiveness but I just haven't had the time to get that idea into reality yet so hopefully I will do at some point this year.

This next card I've actually had on my desk longer then the one above, it just wasn't coming together so I left it until my brain would register what exactly to do with it so I hope you like it what I've done.

The image was too big for the card that came with it so I used plain white card, decorated it with backing paper, stuck on the dancer and cut around her.

I then added the ribbon, poppy and buttons....

and used pealised paper and beaded ribbon wire on the inside. I only had this gold one left so ended up using the silver on the first one and the gold one on this even though gold did suit the first one.... oh well!
