Today I want to show you a couple of altered items that I have been playing with this week. I used my new designer paper Beau Chateau to alter this clock that I got for $4.95 at a discount shop. I also embossed the roses from the stamp set Elements of Style on whisper white and coloured it using my markers and then cut them out and glued them on the face of the clock.
The second item I altered this week is a photo frame. I love this piece of designer paper in the pink pirouette and soft suede. I then made some roses and put them on the bottom left corner. Now I have to find a nice photo to put in the frame.
The final project I made is a box using the new Petite Pocket die. I wanted to find something else I could do with this die and I think the box is a nice size one made using 4 pocket die cuts. The flower I made using blossom Party die and also 2 different circle punches. I used some more of the beau Chateau paper left from the frame to decorate the box.
