MACABRE MONDAYS and 3 other challenges

The challenge that Barb at MACABRE MONDAYS set this week is WALKING DEAD DIVAS, and STAMPINSANITY http://stampinsanity.com/blog/ want you to CREATE OR ALTER A BOX OR FRAME..... so i combined the 2 challenges ( and then added another 2!) and made this box using a STAMPINSANITY DIGI IMAGE...... which was kindly given to the DT at SMEARED INK this month as STAMPINSANITY are the APRIL SPONSORS AT SMEARED AND SMUDGED.
I coloured this beautiful diva green as she has been dead a while.... both she and the box are more of a winsor purple than the photo shows. Shes coloured with watercolours and dabbed with black ink.... black ink is also smeared all around the box edges.... and its tied with a purple ribbon. I punched flowers from black card and used a purple sequin-thing in the centres... i have used glitter on her belt buckle and hair tie... dont faint!
This picyure shows how i coloured her better..... and the glitter hair tie.... her eyes look like mine this week with grandad having the night-wanders all week.....

This is the box open..... i love these little boxes..... so simple to make ..... just one piece of paper/card folded and a scrap of card to go round as the base/lid. The other challenges i'm entering this into are OTHER LOVERLIES.....Suzanne wants you to use punches this week..... i have used punched flowers. http://otherlovelies-suzanne.blogspot.com/
and COOKING IT UP WITH KATIE... http://cookingitupwithkatie.blogspot.com/ which is a recipe challenge..... use a digi image...... use purple.... and use 3 of something..... i used 3punched flowers with sequins in the middle.
Thanks for visiting me today... hope everone has had a wonderful weekend.
love lynx

    I was not shocked at all by the glitter, I see you being influenced by my lighter side. How is that for scary!! Love the box and you! thank you for the most welcomed blessing of strength and good health. I am not going anywhere, just sound a lot more like Marilyn Monroe singing... all airy and whizzy...hehe Oz
