Altered Fairy Tin

Hi all, its been a couple of weeks since I have had a chance to post anything, its been a little crazy around here with my youngest writing her final exams for Grade 12 as well as the fact that we are planning on moving into Johannesburg which is about a 2 hour drive from where we are now, so it makes looking for a new home quite a challenge. However I have been crafting in between and look forward to sharing my new projects with you. In the meantime though I thought I would share a project I did a little while ago for Fabscraps, but wasn't allowed to post as they were publishing it in our South African scrap magazine called Scrap Affairs.

I used one of those Maya Road tins that you used to get chipboard pieces in I think (I have had it for awhile) I painted it with black gesso and added lots of texture with texture paste,micro beads etc. I used the Fabscraps Floral Dreams Collection papers, I fussy cut out loads of the vines and flowers from the papers as well as the fairy. I layered them on top of each other and used foam tape to lift some of the pieces. I painted and textured the chipboard lattice pieces and attached them to the sides of the tin. The tin stands on 2 spools which I painted and covered with some of the papers too.

Heres a look at the back of the tin.

This pic is taken at an angle so you can see a little of the dimension.

                                                      A closer look at the top of the tin.

 I have a tutorial on how I altered the tin and all the materials etc. that I used if you are interested leave me a comment and I will mail it to you.
Till next time, J
