IAR Love Take Out Tin Box & Butterfly Mini






I found this adorable tin take out box at Michaels and thought how adorable it would be to alter and add a mini book inside. The tin was originally white and I alcohol inked it using Adirondack's Latte alcohol ink. I just adore the square plastic on the and back of the tin. I loving all of the Lost & Found collections by My Minds Eye and knew the Union Square collection was perfect for this project. I'm loving the color combination of black, red, beige, and brown. I usually work with lighter colors, but I'm really loving these colors together. This is what's great about crafting, there's so many different colors and styles to choose from. I usually don't like to limit myself to one style. Besides, there's so much out there that I love and that would be hard to do. I created a butterfly mini to go inside the tin using the Sizzix Butterfly & Dragonfly die and it fit perfectly. Listed below are I Am Roses flowers I incorporated on my project.

On top/inside of lid:
Brown Spray SP1 - 740
35 Red Random Mixed Sizes ZM - 78
Small White Flowers S10 - 15

Mini Album:
White Curly Flowers GS 2 - 1
Green Leaves ZQL0 - 0
Red/Beige Small Flowers S10 - 78
White Mini Rose Buds T1-151
