Altered Altoids Tin
I loved making this tin. It was so much fun. I started inking a Ranger foil sheet with Patina inks in moss and jade. Then I dabbed on rust and copper mixative alcohol inks. Let dry. I did the same think to the inside and outside of the altoids tin. I ran the foil sheet through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I ran a vintage photo ink pad over the top to highlight areas. Then I traced the top of the lid and cut out. Then I cut again smaller for the inside of the lid. (Wanted to cover up the word Altoids).
Then for the top of the tin I added wings and a clock face that I highlighted with Inka Gold copper, rust alcohol ink, and a bit of vintage photo distress ink. I added hitch fasteners as feet on the bottom of the box. (I got this idea from CoyoteKim) - awesome.
Altered tins are so much fun to make....love the way you covered the lid on this one.....it looks awesome Kelley! Very vintage looking!
