Altered Round Box

Last week it was a tin, this week, it's a box. After a break from altering, I now find myself having a go at it twice in a row. Well, it helped pass an otherwise dull and wet bank holiday afternoon. Better than clearing out the books in the attic which is how Nick chose to spend it. I thought about drawing and doodling away but decided instead to cut and paste pretty papers.

Again, I used all the wonderful stash from Jodie Lee's Nature Garden Collection. Well all except the pale blue buttons and beaded trim which are from my own horde.

I love the pale colours in this collection and how they beautifully blend together. It's so nice to have all the work done for you. Really I could have chosen any of them to match together and they'd seamlessly complement each other. You can't tell from the photo but there are four different patterned papers used in this. 

Well I hope that those who had a break yesterday managed to find something pleasant and distracting to do and weren't put off by the miserable weather. 

Enjoy the rest of the week :)
