Vintage Altered Art with Graphic 45

By


Join Tara and myself over on the G45 blog today (from 1pm GMT) where we're sharing two DT projects made from the gorgeously oppulant papers from A Ladies' Diary collection.  This collection reflects the Edwardian opulence and glamour of high society at the turn of the last century.

My project is an altered sewing box, very similar to the one my Grandma kept all her buttons and ribbons in, as well as her darning mushroom! remember those?

Click here for a sneak peek of my project.

Happy paper crafting everyone:-)

    I'm ready to totter off to bed, Clare...but had to stop first to let you know just how amazing this sewing box is. Every little detail is just glorious. I love how you used the paper to create the embellishments. Thanks for yet another fabulous creation.
