Altered Jewelry Box - Some Odd Girl Nouveau line

Hi ya everyone!  I have a project I made using this gorgeous girl from Some Odd Girl named Believe.  You've seen a few projects before with her, but I promise this one will be different!  I created a fun jewelry box for my oldest daughter.  She just got her ears pierced and needed a place to store all her cute ear rings.
I started with a wooden box from Michaels.  I painted it with Gesso first and then a Champagne Metallic paint.  I used My Minds Eye paper on the top along with a few mulberry paper flowers and trims from Frog Feathers Etsy shop.
I added a Theresa Collins jewel to the front and also some Recollections bling.  I didn't photograph the insides but I did add a small mirror for her so she could see her ears as she's changing them!
I'm starting to catch the altering bug and have asked for a number of fun embellishments for Christmas this year!!!
