Alter It




The challenge this week from Scrummy Stash Cafe was to take something and alter it. Well, I had a project to make for a friend so decided to use this for the challenge too. I forgot to take a photo before I inked up the tin but it was just plain silver. I used my inking tool and alcohol inks in Cranberry, Lettuce and Eggplant. I covered the entire tin, inside and out then left it to dry. I then decorated the lid with two dragonfly brads and some prima flowers. I glued a gem in the centre of the flowers and then took a chipboard letter, inked around the edges with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink and glued this in place. Ta-da!!!!
