Cigar Box Purse

I recently decided to participate in an 

Altered cigar box swap over at 

Creating a Craft Life ning site.

My Swap Partner was Leslie.

The color theme was Lavender and Cream.

We were to stuff the box with laces and trims.

This is what I created for Leslie.

She likes shabby chic. 

I  just hope she likes what I created for her.

 The piece of ephemera says Spring Opening.

Which I thought was perfect for this month of May 

Spring swap.

 Love this illustrated image of the lady!

Decided to add a beaded dangle charm 

from the handle.

And then tied on a bow with 

sheer cream ribbon.

The back or bottom (depending how she stores it) 

was left smooth.

I found this pretty lavender and cream paper at Joann's.

As well as the faux pearl handle.

And then I made this little 

Thank You for being my swap partner card 

from the left overs that I didn't use on the box.

Hope she likes it!

And thanks for stopping by.
