I'm back on form now and have managed to get some crafting done today. I've made my first Christmas card of the year - but I can't find a challenge for it so I won't post it. I've also altered a couple of tins that I am entering in the current Charisma Cardz challenge which is "Alter It".
I needed some more storage for my growing button and flower collections. I've used a tin which had some biscuits in (from Christmas) and a hot chocolate tin. I've kept them simple as I will use them a lot and too much decoration will get ruined in no time.
Here's what I used to alter these tins:-
Stamp: Sugar Nellie owl which came free with the July issue of Craft Stamper (so cute!)
Colouring medium: Distress inks: Broken China, Worn Lipstick and Mustard Seed to colour owl; copic ciao to colour lettering
DP: Brenda Pinnick
Tools: Spellbinders Flower Creations 2; Sizzix Twinkle Toes alphabet
Accessories: Buttons
Thank you for popping by my blog. I hope you've had a great weekend and enjoy what's left of it.
