My darling hubby found this paper mache jewelry box at Hobby Lobby for 4 bucks. Awesome huh. So I painted it white, then mixed white, blush pink, and tan to make a sort of well to be honest flesh color lol. I just wanted a really neutral background to decorate on. I decoupaged this gorgeous paper that I just won, its from Italy and so pretty. The tag also. The small dream tag is from K & Company, as is the butterfly. I added flowers from my stash, put some bling on some of them, stuck in some swirls of wired ribbon, added a big pink ribbon and some stick pins made by my friend Linda. I put rock candy crackle on the papers, and then added some distress inks, wild honey and the new pink summer color, picked raspberry. This is for my sweet niece Skylar.
