Challenge Double

I had 2 challenges that i had to complete and decided it would be fun to combine them both into one project.

The latest performance on Object D'Art is

A TIN

and Lot's To Do's theme this time round is
NEWSPAPER.
.
After trying different pages of an old newspaper, i finally decided on the games page.

.

.

I cut out sections of the main games like the crossword and sudoku and applied them to the tin using copydex {this was really sticky and i managed to get it all over my fingers, but it was the nearest thing to hand that had a brush already in it, yes I'm lazy, i know, so i would probably recommend if your gonna try this to use another form of glue} anyway as i was saying..

Once i had got an all over coat of papers i added a couple of the words from the same page.

Next i removed the lid so i could ink the tin.

I used Pitch Black and Pearl alcohol inks to cover all the sides but didn't touch the inside or bottom.

I stamped the words "Game On" onto the plastic window in the centre using black stazon, then edged it using my Inkssentials white pen.

.
To finish i used some wax linen thread to edge just around the window and lid & base edges and gave the whole thing {minus the window} a thin coat of Matt accents to protect. And popped a couple of Prima flowers and some ribbon to add texture.

.

.

Now all i need to do is make a book or something to go inside.. but thats for another day.

Thanks for stopping by, visit again soon.
