SS meets ALteR iT MonThlY

Yay... So i finally got to have a play with some of my favourite new Time stamps
 from The Artistic Stamper
I've altered an ickle tin to join in with this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge where Hels wants you to use a 'Key' on your piece.. This is also my second entry for this months 'Metal' themed Alter it Monthly challenge

I clear embossed the cogs background onto the tin, then inked it with medow and latte alcohol inks.{the same colours were used to ink the old keys}

Because this coloured the embossing powder aswell i placed some newspaper over the tin and heated it with my mini iron till the powder melted and absorbed into the paper... thus removing the it to reveal the bare tin below

I used a green sharpie pen to colour the rest of the tin. Then stuck to the 2 keys, one either side to make it into a sort of mini case.. the holes in the keys being the handles.

I decorated the inside with a grungboard alterations die cut gear and stamped piece of basic grey paper with the small cogs stamp, dusted over with some perfect pearls to give it a bit of shimmer {which you cant see in the pic unfortunatly}

 This tin will become a gift box for another piece i made that i'll share tomorrow...Hope you come back then.

Also i would just like to say I really do appricate each one of you that takes the time to visit me xx I'm just sorry i've not got around to doing much in the way of blog hopping myself.. there just arn't enough hours in the day i tall ya!
