some more "anything but a card"

hello lovies.  whenever i get a gift of jewelry i save the little jewelry box and i often re-use those boxes when i am giving a jewelry gift.  for my week two DT creation for the "anything but a card" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad i decided to decorate one of those plain boxes for a gift i plan to give this week.

the box was black and i left the bottom half alone.  i covered the top half in gold tissue paper and created additional layers with other tissue and decorative papers.  the sweet bird image is by itkupilli.  i added a charm from alpha stamps.  i'm excited to give a gift in something altered by me and think i will decorate some more of those empty boxes i have laying about!

the challenge sponsor for the "anything but a card" challenge is creative cuts and more.  if you like working with die cuts and various shape templates you'll like what they've got. a randomly selected winner of the challenge will receive a sample package of goodies from the sponsor.  consider playing along!  i'm also linking this creation up to the scraps of color "texture" challenge.

love to all.
