A Foxy Tin

I used the following stamps
Foxy
Word Collage
Kate's Doodles Cube
Oodles of Doodles

It's Wednesday so that means it's time for a new challenge at the Stampotique Blog. 

This week Valerie has chosen the theme of "what's old is new again" and has asked us to recycle or re-purpose and older item.

I have recycled a small tin that used to hold mints.

I went for a journal theme on my tin.

I first gave it a coat of chalk paint to cover the paint on the tin but also to give my paint a bit of tooth.

I then dry brushed  my 3 colours of paint onto the lid and sides of the tin, added my background stamping with black archival ink. Then used a Dinky stencil to add gesso to the lid.

I stamped Foxy onto white paper and coloured him with pencils before cutting him out and sticking him down.

I then dragged some lines onto the top of the tin using blue paint and an old store card. Finally adding a word from the Word Collage stamp to the top right of the tin lid.

I sealed it with a coat of DecoArt Satin Varnish.

Enjoy the challenge this week.

I hope you have a lovely day, Carol xx
