Altered Art

I received this beautiful altered art treasure box from the very talented Mercedes at All Things Pretty.
I participated in a swap and I was very lucky to have her as my swap partner.

Sorry about the blurry picture, but this gives you an idea of what I found inside this precious box.  Not only did she decorate the outside, but she also beautifully did the inside.  And of course, every treasure box must have a key to unlock it!

Through Mercedes I have been introduced to the world of vintage altered art.  I have not yet grasp it completely, but I'm learning.
Thank you Mercedes!
