I was super short of time to complete this project because I had to have it submitted prior to leaving for a weekend trip this past Thursday. I really wanted to make something sweet and shabby to be kept inside the box too, but just totally ran out of time. So I guess that can be part 2 of this project for another day. I have to tell you, though, if you haven't tried the Rusted Enamel technique, you should. It is so easy and the results are stunning. It was hard to capture it in the photos - craft projects always seem to look so much better IRL.
Now it's time to stop by the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge blog. There are some totally amazing projects to look at over there today and while you are at it, drop by the other design team members' blogs and leave them some love. They are one seriously talented bunch!

Love this... the colors are just gorgeous and the flower and bow set it off perfectly!
This box is amazing Linda. Do you make your own shabby ribbon binding? I have purchased a couple different types but mine don't look like everyone elses. Advice?
Hi Linda - what a super stunning box. Your creative talents are endless and your attention to detail is perfect. I love your techinques you have used on this project. :)
Hope you are well.

I haven't stopped by your blog in a while Linda, but I just wanted to say that all of your new stuff is beautiful as always! I love this little box! So darling!
This is such a neat project! It is fun to see ideas other than cards, especially with gift season coming up. I think this came out beautifully, can't wait to see what you make to go in it :-)
