WOYWW 249

Hi,

   So this is on my workbench this morning, for WOYWW Wednesday. It is going to change later as have load of projects on the go!!! But sure everyone does?


So I dug out my alcohol inks, been at the bottom of the drawer for ages!! I have these cute tins to decorate and some papers that I am just loving at the moment all shall we say obtained from Ali :)

Here are the bits I used:



So I got messy and loved it! I used three colours in the alcohol inks and matched them with the papers I used. From the same paper stash I used the written image "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL" when the sun is shining it is !

Here is the finished tin:

I added a few flowers and some old necklace bits. This is a great small gift for anyone or you could fill it with an accordion mini scrapbook?

  1. No - you could fill it with a mini album..waaaaay too small and requiring of patience for me!! It looks lovely, nice way to employ those necklace pieces.

  2. Cute little tin. I must admit my alcohol inks have got to be one of the least used supplies that I own!

  6. I agree about the alcohol inks- I bought the whole range and used them for weeks, now I never seem to think about them. Aren't we terrible, neglecting the stash that we 'had to have' at the time? Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #37 xxx

  7. What a sweet little tin. Alcohol inks are my absolute favorite for completely transforming so many things.

    Happy creating and Happy Woyww,
