Ballerina in a Tin!

By
I know several little girls that would love to get a ballerina in a tin!
 
This easy to make tin would be a great place to tuck a gift card or a little bit of green for a special little someone!!!
 
 
 
To start: give the metal tin a base color.  This tin is covered with Espresso Alcohol Ink

 
Cut pattern paper to fit inside... Pattern Papers from Mailbox Muse Kit Baby Baby Baby.  Add gold bead around the edge papers for a finished look.
 
 
 Add wings to the ballerina.  Cut half of the wings from the KUNZE German Scrap Butterfly.

 
Tint KUNZE German Scrap Butterfly that will go on the lid.  With ink, then dip in clear embossing powder and set with heat gun, give the butterfly an enamel look.
 
 
Adhere papers with Tacky Glue. Add Geman Scrap Fringe to the inside top of tin create a stage for our Ballerina.

 
The Ballerina is on a tiny block behind a layer of paper... looks like she is floating!!!

 
On the out side add fibers around the edges of the tin with Tacky Glue.
 
 
On the top of the tin embellish with KUNZE German Scrap!!! 
 
 
Supplies:
KUNZE German Scrap
TIN
Gold Pen
Mailbox Muse Kit Baby Baby Baby Pattern Paper
Fibers/Trims
Tacky Glue
Ink
Clear Embossing Powder
Ballerina
Espresso Alcohol Ink or other medium to paint
 
HAVE FUN MAKING YOUR TINS!!!

 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.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
