Altered Box

Hi Folks. After a busy day yesterday, here I am to let you see what can be done with an empty cheese box. The lovely Selma who creates the most amazing flowers and recycled art gave me the idea. You can see her work  Here.  I could never have envisioned how lovely it turned out. I have made a card to go inside it too. I also made Selma's roses from a Marianne die and they suited this box perfectly, the leaves were spellbinders. So simple to make and you can see the tutorial over at Selma's too.  I'm off to the hospital to-day for another appointment, so no crafting for me to-day. Thank-You for visiting and any questions you have I will try to help, says she still trying to help herself. hee hee.   Enjoy your Day.  Hugs Rita xx

Hi Rita
Re-cycled art is always so exciting and doesn't it make us feel good that we are making use of what otherwise would be in the rubbish bin.
This is such an elegant project.
