This week's theme for the Its Crafting Time design team is music. I decided to alter a tin to hold the girls' recorders and whistles ...
I cleaned out a used can of baked beans and measured some white cardstock to go round it. I stamped over the cardstock in black archival ink using the Music background from the Artistic Stamper, and then distressed it in old paper and linen distress inks. I scrunched the cardstock up and swipted over the wrinkles with frayed burlap distress ink. I added some Tim Holtz tissue tape (symphony) and stained some cardstock using black soot distress ink, before cut some musical notes out using a Marianne Creatible die. Finally I painted the notes using rock candy crackle paint to give them a distressed look.
