Gift Tins

 Hi everyone! I am sharing with you a commissioned project I did last month.  They were gift tins for the 4 kids in a wedding party - flower girls & ring bearers.  They gave me very specific instructions - lavender and silver, celtic symbol, hair colour, etc.  AND these are what I came up with:

 Inside of tins:

And the boys' tins:

 

 

Side view:  

 The stamps I used are Magnolia - I'm not sure from which collection...the wedding one I assume!  I used my D'vine swirls embossing folder, silver paper & ribbon, lavender paper & ribbon, and a celtic knot that I found on the internet that was similar to the one they wanted.  I have coloured Edwin & Tilda with Copics and popped them up on the tins with pop dots.  I used my nestabilities and my circle punches for the girls & the sentiments.

 I am entering these into the following challenges:

All Sorts Challenge - Anything But a Card (gift tins)

Colour Me Creative - Celebrations (wedding)

Sweet Stampin' - Anything but Birthday (wedding)

Stampin for the weekend - die cuts or punches (nesties & circle punches)

Crafty Catz - The colour Purple (lavender)

Fairy Tale Challenge - special occasion (wedding)

Crafty Ribbons - anything goes with ribbon (lavender & silver ribbon on all projects)

DRS designs - pastels (lavender)

The Sisterhood of Crafters - anything goes

Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes

Thanks for popping by!!!
