Treasure box - recycled invitation

Dear Friends,

Inspiration for last week for Recycle at IQCG and Unlock your potential at Unstampabelles.


This March month challenge at Unstampabelles - Unlock your potential - The twist is to add a key.......

 Here is my inspiration to the theme. I made this treasure box out of an wedding invitation of a friend. I gave her the same after her marriage.  Told her the secret of the box. She felt very happy that i have not thrown the invitation into thrash which we normally do after the wedding is over.

Pasted the pattern paper over it, some quilled flowers, golden ball chain to add beauty. Added a Golden quilled key to fit into the challenge theme.

Hope you have an idea now.

You have another three days time to join us at IQCG and four days at Unstampabelles. Link your projects there.
