altered box

Hi all
 Here is a memory box i have made using a a large  heart  shaped  paper mache box i bought from my favourite craft shop in milford haven marina ...IN HOUSE

I covered the box inside and out with beau chateau papers from stampin up and pva glue.I edged the box base and lid with cream lace from my stash.
I decorated the lid with flowers from  mulberry wild orchid and swirl die cuts using a marianne d die.
The pearls and gingham ribbon,pearls,organza ribbon and buckle are from meiflower crafts.
I added a punched butterfly hey presto ,i have a fab memory box
