I Adore Paris at Heartfelt

I love tins in all shapes and sizes. . .I collect them at markets, garage sales and shops whenever they are on sale ~ I tend to re-decorate them to give them a new lease on life and hopefully they are appealing and practical too.

This is another of the Off the Page projects that I shared at Heartfelt in Brisbane in November.

I have covered a long cylindrical wafer biscuit tin with Fan Fair Designer Series Paper and cardstock.  I roughly stamped the paper with the splotches stamp from the French Foliage stamp set (in Crumb Cake) and daubed the edges to distress the paper.  I just adore the Parisian themed pages.  The Eiffel Tower is such a romantic structure that it appeals in every vintage project.

The roses are made with Very Vanilla cardstock using the Fancy Flower punch.  It was only fitting that I use one of the leaves from French Foliage ~ I stamped these in Island Indigo and fussy cut them and distressed them to fit the project.  They are all attached with Dimensionals.  I also punched leaves with the Bird Builder punch in the Champagne Glimmer cardstock.

I also added some Paper Daisies which I had daubed with Island Indigo ink to beak up the bouquet.  Pearl Jewels were the perfect embellishment for the centres of these.  I love the random More Mustard lace image that is on the DSP as it really blends in with the whole project theme.

The top of the tin was decorated in a consistent fashion with More Mustard cardstock as the base, more roses, leaves and flowers.

An easy and enjoyable project.
