This time I'm here to remind you that you still have until next Saturday  May 30th at noon (British time) to join us in our "Heavy Metal" challenge...the prize for this challenge is a GD post at Simply Magnolia...how exciting is that!!

Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
I decided to make another storage chest for my embellies...
I covered the plain chest with tissue paper and deco-pauge...
then I rubbed it with Inka Silver to create a "metal" look...
the chest before...
 
 this little darling is "Tilda with Summer Pants" from the Pink Lemonade 2014collection...
coloured using my distress re-inkers...
finished with a dusting of Shabby Pink and Shabby Blue Frantage...
bordered with lace w/rhinestones...
then dangled the two charms...
closer...
the front...
decorated with decorative vine die cuts from Cheery Lynn Designs #B117 & B#127... 
paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts...
the tiny flowers are metal flowers from Maya Road coated with Frantage...
