Altered Halloween/Fantasy Flying Creatures Tin





I took this Christmas tin, decoupaged it with pages from a Spiderwick book.  Then, I used orange and black distress ink on the paper and orange Adirondack ink to color the metal areas that do not have he paper on them.  I added a strand of this curled metal on the top and flowers to that.  Oh, and a yellow ribbon around the lid.

  2. Hello, I have you for a postcard swap so I thought I'd swing by your blog. I really like these tins. I'd never have thought of using Spiderwick to decoupage. My son and I really liked reading the Spiderwick books. Fun stories.
    All the best.

  3. Hi Christie, Seems I just sent a swap off to you and here we are paired up again. So I was just looking over your blog. I have lots of tins and you have inspired me to get going on one. I"m following now, would you follow on mine? Thanks, Coleen
