Before and after small suitecase!

 Picked up this little lovely last week at my local thrift store and decided to alter it.
 The outside was a dark brown and the inside a kraft look. I painted the entire outside an ivory color and then distressed ti with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.
 I added the flat back pearls all around the top. The flower in the lower right corner is from my wedding dress that I sprayed with Tattered Angels "Caramel Apple"....my one and only TA..lol! The flower int he upper left corner is one of my handmade crape paper flowers. The piece next to it is also from my wedding dress sprayed with the TA!
 This is the inside lid....the paper letter is from a collage sheet from an old magazine, the hankie looking fabric I found in my stash. The beaded face is one of mine and the other piece is also from my wedding dress sprayed with the TA spray. You can also notice I glued a brocade trim all around the inside case.
 The inside I just cut a piece of pattern paper and the shoes are stickers that I distressed with Vintage Photo ink and added some K & Company dimensional stickers!
 These two pics are a closer look at the flowers.
                                                                                   There's a little mini I made to go inside....that will be posted soon.
