Dressed up Drink!!

Good morning to you

Today I would like to show you a little recycling and a little playing all in one, I am loving my current play time, so many ideas, that I have been waiting to try.

I decided to have a play with my copic airbrush system again, to create this altered tin.

I sprayed with primer the little tin, and then airbrushed it with a variety of yellow copics, darker at the bottom and then lighter towards the top.  Over this I placed my favourite lace (that has been coloured up so many times before with my spraying) I over sprayed this with YG94 and then removed the lace.  I then used one of my brown ink pads and an old sentiment stamp and I rolled the tube over the sentiment carefully back and front, all of this before I then adorned it with some gorgeous embellishments see below as they are all Hobby House products except the ribbon which is from Lidl.

Hobby House products used are:
(Lace from shop only)

Here are some different views



Here is what I started with - I used a Nellie Snellen circle die to create the top and bottom
