Treasures Tin

Hello Ladies

Welcome to February and my first post, using our brand new

Magnolia Lane Collection by our very own Sue Smyth.

I know Mothers Day is a while away, but it never to soon to start thing of it, so today I've created a "treasure tin" just for mum, using a old coffee tin.

First I choose a page from the 12x12 paper pad "Elegant Lady", cutting it in half, and attaching it to the tin, with 18mm double sided tape

As there is a small gap, at the top and bottom of the tin, I've covered it with pink cardstock, then take a piece of Pink Decorative Lace, run soon 3mm double side tape along the centre of the lace, fold it in half, run more tape along the folded edge, now attach to tin

From the 6x6 paper pad, cut form the Elegant Lady sheet, the lady corner, with foam and double sided tape, attach it over the lager Elegant Lady,

here layer flowers and butterflies, from the Ephemera set, with foam tape

to the large Lady image, I added Couture Creations Adhesive Pearls - Pretty Pink, to her string of pearls, and head band, a small Cottage rose to complete her head band

cut 5 Drifting Feathers, ink the edges and place them behind the flower cluster 3 at one end,

and 2 at the other end

Place a couple of tassels for the Ephemera pack, along side the tassel in the pattern paper,

use foam tape for a little depth

cut several from the layered flower collection using Blue Eyed Daisy, ink the tip of each petal, glue each layer together, spray with a little water, bend petals into the centre, when dry reopen flowers

Lid of tin covered with flowers, Couture Creation Gems, and pearls have been added to the centre, and Ephemera butterflies, glued on to wire, hover over them
