Hi! Tonight I was in the mood to get crafty and create an altered shabbified tresor box for the Creative Carte Blanche April's Art Adventure where the theme is to alter a cigar box. I combined a variety of Prima products including pretty flowers, resin pieces, die cuts, crackle paste, acrylic paint and so much more!
Here's the before photo:

Hi Mona! You have such an unmistakable look to your art! It's always so beautifully done; shabby chic and gorgeous soft colors. Your altered cigar box is divine! I love your little corset medallion as your focal point. So sweet and feminine. The die cut oval behind it and the sweet flowers are such perfect compliments. I also adore your mixed media background. Just elegant. Thanks for sharing with all of us at Creative Carte Blanche.
Oh my it's fabulous!!

You created a Beauty!

OOOoooooo *Insert low whistle here* This is stunning in its textural glory! I love the softness of this! The spray of flowers against that texture paste background makes this one vintagey romantical design!

Brilliant Mona, as your art ever is. I smile to myself to think of the cigar smokers and how surprised they would be at the transformation you've made. I especially like the composition here and the flow from lower left upward and to the right. Very gentle and pleasing. Thank you for sharing with Creative Carte Blanche!
Elegant, feminine and so, so beautiful Mona - I love how you transformed the box! Anne x
