Fun Mother's Day Altered Tin & ATC's

Hi Everyone!

I hope you've all had a super week so far!

Since Mother's Day is in just 2 short days I wanted to share a really fun idea I have been sharing with folks on my blog.   It's an altered candy tin filled with 10 ATC's. 

The tin it's self has been covered with a few of the beautiful papers from the Glitz line - Laced with Grace which I just love.  It's got both an edgy and vintage at the same time.  I inked the edges of each panel with the Paris Trunk Sepia Ink and glued each one into place.

I embellished the lid with a chipboard letters which I painted with Maya Road Mist and a beautiful image from the collage sheet Ladies Who Lunch AP477.   I've also added a few vintage buttons, tiny flowers which were colored using Maya Road Mist and finished it off with a touch of glitter glue and tarnished gold tinsel.


The inside was embellished with a photo of myself when I was a couple years old along with more Glitz Paper and a funny computer generated sentiment taken from my Smart Aleck remarks list on my blog.  I glued 3 magnetic strips to the back of the tin so it could be mounted on a fridge or other metal surface.


And I filled it with loads ATC's each using a different image from the following collage sheets:  Ladies who Lunch 477D; Victorian Actresses 536D; Ooh La La 577D and Playing Around 951D.  Each ATC background was created using a different technique incorporating everything from waxed paper, crayons, embossed Metal and much much more! If you're interested you can check out my blog ~ Ink Stains ~ for instructions on each card. 



I hope all you Mom's out there have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Jean, I just may take you up on that! Roni, what a fun project and I do love your smart aleck remarks on your blog. Adding a magnet on the back makes it fun to play with while on the fridge. I'm a firm believer in interactive art for the fridge.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
