New Challenge at Stamping with the Dragon - Altered Anything


Hello and welcome to my scrapbokking blog.

Today my post is not a layout but an 'Altered Anything' to join in with the new challenge starting today over at Stamping with the Dragon .  My altered  DT project of choice is a circular box.  Stamping Dragon Designs as usual are providing the prize for the winner.

The prize for the winner is a £5 voucher to the



I've had the box since last Christmas and couldn't decide what to do with it and this DT project gave me a chance to decorate the box with some christmassy style stuff I had to hand.

I have chosen to use the Striped Patterned paper from Stamping Dragon Designs  Pastel Swirls digital kit.  Lots of bright colours, the paper has a Toy Box feel to it.




 I covered the base of the box with the paper and added a band of fine ribbon with a white flourish design and gold edging.  I then added a strip of orange RickRack to the bottem of the base and a row of die cut flower shapes to pick up the orange stripe in the paper.


I then covered the lid of the box with the same paper and adhered another strip of orange Rick Rack  to the outside of the  rim. I die-cut a punched scalloped circle from  piece of blue Core-dinations paper  to place in the middle of the box lid. Using a Sizzix 'Flowers with Flourish Stems' strip die I cut a selection of flourishes in paper colours to compliment the chosen paper. I've made some ribbon roses in wired green organza ribbon and hot-glued them in a cluster to the centre of the lid.


 I added some pearls to  the centre of the roses to add detail. I also hot-glued buttons in various colours to the lid adding crystals  and pearls to the centre of each button.. The lid was finished with a bow made from the same ribbon that wraps the box base.



This is a departure from what I would usually post on my 'Scrapbooking Blog' but I had fun with this project and I hope you do to when you take part in our challenge.
