A Quick Tin


As I love the M & S mints I have a stack of these little tins. I usually chuck them on the fire to strip all the paint off them, but this one I just gave a quick swoosh of gesso a bit of distress ink and then stamped on it with stazon. I then over spritzed it with moon shadow mist and a bit of embossing on the edges. I cannot decide if the candy dots are a mistake or not but its too late now as they are stuck on.

I think I love you


for the Simon Says Challenge this week and a chance to win all those lovely goodies I have done a TH inspired tag. pretty apt as I am booked into a workshop with him on Saturday so really what else could I do.

Tag is inked, cuttlebugged and then inked again. heart, wings and swirls are grungeboard and the rose is made from grungepaper, all inked to within half an inch of its life lol.
