This is a gift tin that will hold ribbons, flowers, and a gift card.
The front of the tin was done with the Acrylic Paint Resist Technique and several colors of Distress Ink. The sides and back piece (actually wraps around the tin) were stamped, colored with Copic markers, then sponged with the same colors of Distress Ink used on the front piece.
Alcohol ink was used to cover the top of the tin and to color the acrylic ghost letters. A charm sits on the acrylic letter, which is attached to the tin with a ball chain.
Rhinestones were used for the butterfly's body (with sewn antennae and tiny rhinestones for the end of the antennae) and to accent the lid and base of the tin.
Thanks for looking!

I'm so sorry you've not received a lot of comments on this, Kathi. It is a fun and fantastic way to redo a metal tin. Your work is wonderful with your own signature style.
