Lou's Finished Altered Sardine Tin - Christmas theme.

Hi everyone, Sherry here.

This is how Lou's sardine tin arrived from Sonja.

It's lovely, the Father Christmas at the front really gave

the whole thing dimension.

 

 

I added three elements to the tin:

 

~ a string hanger at the top which can't 
really be seen in the photo.  Sonja had added

string / twine all around the tin, so the hanger 

seemed in keeping with that.

 

~ a star shaped bead hanging inside

 

~  Some foliage on the corner which extends

to the back of the tin too.  It's die cut from 

Tim Holtz' Tattered Pinecone Bigz die

from Kraft-Core paper stuck onto Grunge Board and 

distressed with sand paper. 

(The back foliage is just from the Kraft-Core Paper)

 

 

 I didn't know whether to add any more to the back

or the sides, but as it had a lovely finish already

decided to leave it as it was.

It's now on it's way to Lou - sent today by Recorded Delivery.

I really enjoyed this project and it'll be interesting seeing how

all the altered tins turned out.
