Monogrammed Tins with Altered Pages Alphabets

By

Today I am sharing an altered monogrammed tin I made using AP1031--Ornate Alphabet--and Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul's Mixers. I began by painting the tin with lacquer and mixers.
I printed my ornate alphabet on pink paper to start. It is a black outline alphabet and can be printed on any color paper to create a base color for your letters. Next I painted my letters with lacquer and a very small amount mixers so that it is a transparent "wash." 
I used several different colors of lacquer--pink, gold, copper penny. After they dried. I trimmed them out closely. I used the lacquer to attach the letter to the lid and then poured a puddle of lacquer to collect on the lid and to provide a shellac-like cover. After it dried I added crystal bling around the lid of the tin. These monogrammed tins can make great gifts for any one at any age!

 
Thank you for looking~leslierahye

 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.
