Quilled Recycled Box

Quilled Box |
Quilling is a paper-craft which can be as elaborate or as simple as you want-- the result is always rewarding!
This was the hideous looking notepad holder box I recycled .

I wrapped the box in some pearlised paper and added some punched leaves and quilling .

I always feel pearls can glamorize even mundane creations!I used 4 types of pearl beads on this quilled box.

Added some pink lace to augment the textures of the quilling box.

I especially like the way the top folds into place on a slot on the box.

Linking the Quilled Box to Craftycardmakers[beads]
The card is not a matching card to the quilled box but a simple quilled card I am entering for CAS at
ICR. I find CAS a difficult concept indeed and salute all those ladies out there who churn up such beautiful CAS creations.
