I have a little altered project today.
I was so fed up of looking at my boring pen pot.
This was created to enter Brendas 5th blogaversary.
If you haven't seen Brendas blog you are missing out on some beautiful pieces of artwork.
We have to share our all time favourite crafting item by entering a new piece of artwork using it.
If you have been following me for a while you will know that my favourite die is Caged bird by Tim Holtz so of course had to be used.
I covered a piece of white card using my favourite swirly butterfly stamp from Flourishes by Michele Marsden.
I love all types of swirls and this pack has a few very pretty ones.
Added some orange ric-rac along the top and bottom
I also love sparkle so used irridescent pearls and then covered them, the cage and leaves in holographic glitter.
Finished off with a flower, candi and blue ribbon.
No longer a boring old pot and I love how it turned out.

Cute as it can be. How creative you are.
ReplyDeleteWell done on repurposing that tin! Love that colour combo and your swirls look fabulous, as does the cage and bird. When you are on a budget and craft, things like this make a distinct difference - less money spent on containers = more to spend on stash! AND the bonus - its fun to make! Thanks for sharing with us at Crafting with Dragonflies.
ReplyDeleteMorning Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous altered creation and useful at the same time.
I do recall how much you loved this TH die and so imaginative wrapping it round the tin like this, so very effective. It's also a fav of mine although thinking about it a bit neglected of late.
Thanks so much for joining in my blog celebration and good luck when it comes to the prize draws.
