Basic Grey Challenge 40

 This week's Basic Grey Challenge is Something Recycled.

As always, our wonderful sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore, just think of the goodies you could treat yourself to with that !!

Simon Says Stamp $25 Credit Voucher

I used this box that I had as part of a Christmas present last year ...
 I painted it with as couple of layers of white primer paint and then decorated it.

 I used this cute hAnglar image and coloured her using distress inks.  The image is distressed using vintage photo and Walnut stain.  I love Infuse papers, and used a mixture of 12x12" papers and 6x6" papers.  I matted them onto olive green cardstock.  The big ribbon was from ther same Christmas present (knew it would come in handy!!!)  Finally I added some teeny flat backed pearls.
 I used another length of the ribbon to tie round the box ...
 and then I filled it with white goodies ... wonder who they were for ... Ali!!!  Hope you are enjoying palying sweetie ... and only two and a half weeks until I subject you to the girls and hubby!!!!  Brace yourself!!!

I am entering this into these challenges:
Just Magnolia - favourite colour combination (brown/green/pink)
