I recently participated in a matchbox swap hosted by
Heather of The Speckled Egg,
with a Spring Inspirations theme.
I have wanted to participate in one of Heather's swaps for months,
and always seemed just miss the sign-up date.
So I was so happy to make it into this one!
We embellished a large matchbox
and filled it with artgoodies for two swap partners.
and
I covered the box in a wallpaper print,
and used two of my favorite Pre-Raphaelite images.
The flowers are handmade of delicate glimmer-misted tissue paper,
and I embellished the box with vintage lace
and a little metal tag.
Inside I tucked in some vintage French text, vintage crepe paper,
some embellishments I made, images, a little ballerina,
and a vintage rosette, among others.
Thanks for stopping by!
Treat yourself to more pink loveliness at How Sweet the Sound!
Very nice matchboxes that you made for the swap! Great goodies inside too!

ReplyDeleteSo glad I visited your Blog as the matchboxes are right up my street.
Gorgeous. Funnily enough, yesterday I made a card with Soul of A Rose (Oxford Impressions' stamp) an absolute favourite image of mine.
Lovely if you visited my Blog, Adorn.
