Haunted Design House has a new challenge starting today and with all the greenery that spring brings as well as the thought of new life got twisted about as only the Minions can do......
The theme then turns into
The theme then turns into
Turn Green (with envy)
So with the thoughts, maybe, on bringing new life into an old and battered piece of "junk" or a project that has mainly the colour green in it or ......... you get the idea.
Susan has more ideas over on the blog. Her narrative is inspiring!!
My project ....
the upcycling of an old coffee tin
from this
Then a piece of glossy thick paper daubed with different distress inks in shades of green.
This was then coated with the soot of a cheap candle
Various stamps from the "Fringe" collection from Smeared Ink were then stamped into the soot.
After a couple of coatings of cheap hairspray to set.....
the paper was cut to size and wrapped around the tin,
The top and bottom coloured with alcohol ink (promarker)
then the final touch - a circle of grunged up paper with yet another element of the stamp set used and stuck down to the lid
A scrap of ribbon to neaten and that coffee tin now feels at home on my craft desk.
Your turn now
Go visit the HDH blog for more inspiration on upcycling etc and show us what you come up with
