Here is the project that I created to share with you. I altered a large Altoids tin and gave it a beautiful vintage look.
Here is what the tin looked like before I altered it. It's a 10 oz. Altoids tin so it's not a little purse size one.
The first thing I did was to apply foam mounting tape on the lid. I didn't add mounting tape to the word Altoids because it is already raised up and once the mounting tape is on the word and the tape are about at the same level.
I traced the tin onto some designer paper from
Daisy Bucket, the paper is from the new line
Shabby Green Door. I applied the paper to the top of the tin with the foam mounting tape but to seal the edges I used
Fabri-Tac from
Beacon Adhesives. Although
Fabri-Tac is for fabric, ribbon and lace it also works wonderfully with paper.
Next I sanded and inked the edges of the paper.
Then I airbrushed the tin a pretty brown. Now this part was kind of an afterthought and if I was going to do this again I would airbrush and then apply the paper. *wink*
After the airbrushing was done I added a darker brown ink the the edges of the paper and then I set the tin aside while I worked on the embellishments for the top.
The stamped image I used is from the
Breath of Spring Stamp Set from
JustRite Stampers. This set includes 4 Beautiful Floral Images including Violets, Lily of the Valley, Daffodils and Tulips and 4 Interchangeable Borders and it fits the
2-1/4'' x 3-1/16'' Oval Stamper. These are the Copic markers I used to colors the violets.
Next I added the green to the stems and leaves.
I added pinks for the bow.
After the floral image was colored the I used the
Wizard™ and
Classic Ovals Large S4-110 Die #3 from
Spellbinders™ to cut/emboss the oval. I stamped the floral image twice and cut out a few of the flowers and the leaves and used foam tape to adhere the flowers and add some dimension and I also inked the outside of the oval with Antique Linen Ink.
I stamped the image again and colored the border with
Copic markers, cut out the oval and then inked the edges with Antique Linen Ink.
Next I cut/embossed four accent pieces using the
Wizard™ and Floral Accents S4-199 die templates from
Spellbinders™. I also cut/embossed a scalloped oval using the
Big Scalloped Ovals Large S4-251 Die #4 die templates. I cut all of the accent pieces in half.
Once I had all of the piece cut/embossed I layered them. The scalloped oval is on the bottom and then the oval with the border is the second layer and then I added all of the accent piece and the small oval with the violets is the top layer. In between each layer is foam tape with gives it this great dimension.
Then I worked on the tag. The sentiment is from
Joyful Hearts from
JustRite Stampers and it contains 6 Wonderful Sentiments with 6 Interchangeable Borders and it fits the
1-3/4'' x 2-5/16'' Oval Stamper. I stamped the sentiment and then made an oval diecut using the
Wizard™ and
Classic Ovals Small S4-112 Die #3 from
Spellbinders™. Before removing the oval I airbrushed with a
Copic marker.
Here are all of the piece for the tag. I made a tag and accent diecuts using the
Wizard™ and
Fancy Tags S4-235, Floral Accents S4-199 die templates.
Here is the layered and finished tag.
These are all of the
Copic markers I used for this project.
For a finishing touch I added some lace trim and rhinestones.

I started by creating the background. I used a piece of white cardstock and two colors of Glimmer Mist, Timeless Lilac and Caribbean Blue from Tattered Angels. 
After the background piece was dry (you can use a heat tool to speed up the drying time) then I stamped the image of the morning glories down the left side with gold ink and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The morning glories are from the My Garden stamp set from JustRite Stampers. This set includes 4 Beautiful Floral Centers and 4 Interchangeable Borders and works with the 3-1/4'' Round Stamper. I stamped the center and border three times with gold ink and then heat embossed with a heat tool and gold embossing powder. For the first piece I cut/embossed the largest circle piece using Standard Circles Small S4-116 Die #7. To cut/emboss the center piece I used the Standard Circles Large S4-114 Die #4 from Spellbinders™. For the third piece I colored the morning glories with Glimmer Mist Honey Dew Mist and Timeless Lilac Glimmer Mist and then I cut out some of the flowers and leaves and layered then with foam tape. 
I added a ribbon and a little bling to match the card. Now I know this isn't a 5 minute card but it did come together pretty quickly and as far as painting with the glimmer mist it was very quick and simple--nothing too detailed.
