Magical Monday - Merry Wishes

Hello all,

Have you been over to TMITA/PCC to check out this weeks challenge details?

Merry Wishes is the image we have to play with this week and it was Nilla's turn to issue the challenge. Nilla chose a colour challenge for us:

Use any shades of Blue/green/white. Make these colors the main theme for your project.

I'll start by apologising for the photo! it was just too bright outside when I took this one.

The ring pull can contains chocolate treats - well probably not now my niece was given this at Easter!!

I saw this project on The Stamping Kub's blog and thought it was a great idea so it's a CASE really. I've since seen them on SCS too, they are pretty easy and fun to make.

My can was a can of apples that I opened from the bottom with a can opener, leaving the ring pull intact. Once the can was washed and dried properly I used some masking tape to make sure any sharp edges were safe. Next I added the chocolate goodies and glues the base back into place.

It's just a case of measuring around the tin and decorating now.

I liked how Kurtis had run some stitching around the top and bottom of the can so did the same on some pale blue card.

I've printed the image twice, one for the card and then again smaller for the can. Both were coloured with Copics and cut with Oval Spellbinders. A pale green mat was used for both can and card.

I punched a belly band of blue/white check card for the can and the image has two slots punched either side to enable the blue heart ribbon to be threaded through. This is tied around the can adding the computer generated sentiment and tied off in a bow.

I punched a circle for the top of the can and tied some more of the ribbon through the ring pull. Three heart embellies were added as well to complete the can.

The card is straight forward with some rounded corners and more heart embellies. Another computer generated sentiment attached with the blue hearts ribbon. Here' s a closer look at the can.

This project is going into the following challenge:

Our Creative Corner where the challenge is bows.

It's all your fault Patti!!!
