I wanted a vintage, feminine feel to it, so I used cream, blue & lilac for the colour scheme. I used small wooden spools to raise up the box a little. The scroll, key and dressform wings (die cut butterfly!) are embossed with Frantage aged silver embossing powder - I love the vintage feel this gives! The bottle of nail polish is an old one of my Mum's - the polish is completely solid, but I love the old bottle... The small flower on the top right I think is tatting (one skill I have never mastered!) - it was part of an old brooch which had seen better days! I used one of Tim's foliage leaves to add wings to the frozen Charlotte.
I'm not sure whether it's finished; I think I'll leave it as it is, & add a couple of more bits as and when ... ! Here's some more detailed photos...
