I found an old cigar box at a flea market the other day and took it home to alter. I needed to make a display piece for the store using this new Pink Paislee Amber Road paper.
I enjoyed cutting out the cherry blossom tree which was a lot easier then it looks! Really! I then inked it in my favorite color of Distress Ink by Tim Holtz, Vintage Photo.
I added a flower with a little key charm in the center that we sell at the store. I happened upon a cute keyhole by Melissa Frances to add to the front of my box.

Just breathtaking, Lindsey! I have always loved decorating cigar boxes (when I was a child). I haven't had access to a box for years since we quit having kids and passing out cigars (HA!)My fave cigar box was in Vacation Bible School when I was probably 7, we glued macaroni on a box and the teacher sprayed it gold. It was a jewelry box for our Mothers. Thanks for bringing up good memories. Love your color choices and the key and lock features.

Very fallish! The key on the flower looks great! I love cutting out things- even if it's hard. ♥

Lovely. You have done a beautiful job and so creative. I have decorated a beer carrying container. It was so much fun. I did a bird and bird nest motif.
