Perwinkle and Primrose Dream Box

I love altering Altoids tins. You see, I have a thing for boxes, bowls and containers, just ask my husband. I swear if I bring another bowl into the house, he will just go crazy. Only kidding.... It must be a woman thing to keep thingscontained and bunched together. Some people even say a bowl is a metaphor for a woman's womb? A bit too heady for me.... LOL.

Well, I did so enjoy making this little box. I painted it periwinkle and then worked on the paper for the top and inside. It is white dimensional floral paper that I water colored, shimmer painted and added Stickle accents to bring out each individual flower. Layered on top there are paper flowers with jeweled centers and tiny pnk plastic ones too. Some cut ribbon leaves and glitter accents were added for dimension. Around the outside is some periwinkle organza ribbon. Inside is a bit of a poem from Wordsworth and the rest of the painted paper.

Hope you will enjoy the air you breath this week.
artfully yours, gerri
