When I was thinking of what I'd create for this Anything But a Card challenge, my mind went blank! So I scanned my stamp room, and my eyes fell on this tin full of Primas. Eureka! What a perfect little way to package a few cookies, or some gift tags!
It's hard to see in the photo, but I stamped the pink strip with the background from Snow Wonderful in Versamark Dazzle Champagne Watermark ink, then embossed with Clear embossing powder. It has a nice shimmer to it in real life that's almost impossible to capture in a photo.
The top of the tin was wrapped in 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon with a little bow, and the top was covered using cardstock layers cut with my Circle Nestabilities dies. The top layer is the other side of the Fancy Pants Arctic Chill paper that I used to wrap the bottom of the tin. I sponged all the edges, then added the sentiment in Brilliance Pearlized Chocolate ink.
To finish off the tin, I stamped the snowman three times in the same Brilliance ink, then colored the appropriate pieces with Copic markers. I cut them out and layered them with Pop Dots to make the snowman jump right off the tin! Here is a photo of the tin open:
I really ejoyed using these non-traditional colors for a winter card, and I hope you enjoyed my project today! Happy Wednesday!
