Not a card today! I thought I'd use the WMS sketch#11 and alter a tin. It was really hard to get a photo without the flash firing, so I cheated it which makes the back left hand side slightly out of focus......ergh!
I stamped the band and petals around the base of the tin in tattered rose distress ink, using one of the border patterns from Picnic Patterns.
The lid features one of the Faux Fun Circle stamps with a sentiment and heart from Fancy Phrases. The Mushroom layer is also stamped with one of the Picnic Patterns border stamps (hard to see in my photo!).
Gathered lace, silk ribbon, heart shaped buttons, pin, pearl hearts and pink gems complete the tin.
I was thinking I might add some circles concertina style and add some journaling and photos ..........what do you think? If you have any ideas leave me a comment and let me know will you? Thanks. xIan's news.
The news from the hospital for Ian was good and bad yesterday. The good news was that they were happy with the plate they inserted to mend the arm and the 8"wound is healing well. The bad news is that he has limited movement in his hand, as a result of some nerve damage. It could repair itself, in time......months, but if not he would have to go back for surgery. We're off to Physio tomorrow and he's now able to take the splint off so they can start working on the arm properly. The ribs are still the most painful thing for Ian to deal with but they've suggested anti inflammatory tablets will help so we'll give these a try.
I'm hoping he won't have to have further surgery but we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime he will see a nerve specialist who can monitor the progress.
Ladies..........don't let your husbands climb ladder's........it's not worth it!!

Life can sure change with the blink of an eye, huh? Still sending good vibes for both you and Ian. Nothing ever seems to go quickly when we are in pickles like this.

Tell Ian hello and to do every thing the doctors tell him ! He's in good hands with you! Your creation is breath taking! Good luck with the challenge.
You have created a beautiful little box using that sketch. The lace and ribbons are so pretty. Thanks for the update on Ian. Happy to hear the good news and hopefully the rest will improve soon.
Altered Tin is way outside my area of expertise . I love it just the way it is ! It is so beautiful it would make a wonderful keepsake .

Happy to hear your husband is on the mend! Your lil' altered tin is gorgeous - I wouldn't do a thing to change it - all the details look perfect! Thanks so much for playing along with the WMSC :)
What a great idea to alter a tin, the sketch was perfect for that! Your tin is so lovely and would make an ideal home for a circle album - or for a set of circular gift tags.
You and Ian are still in my prayers! Hoping for a full recovery! Beautiful work of art your tin is. I am in total awe!
Your altered tin is just beautiful. Love the idea of adding a concertina book with photos inside it.
