This week's Bloggers Challenge was to be INSPIRED! (and then create something, of course!) I found these yummy Pink Peanut M&M's and the gears started turning. And.. this week's Color Challenge at SCS was to use pink in your project. How perfect!
I bought these cut little tins from Papertrey Ink last month and they were just crying out to be altered! For the lid, I stamped an image from MFT's Think Pink set onto Shimmery White CS. I colored the image in with Copics and used a clear Copic Spica to add even more sparkle to the girls' tops.
The printed paper around the base of the tin is by Basic Grey (Phoebe Collection). I just adhered it with Sticky Strip. The ribbon is beautiful two-toned pink satin that I found at WAL-MART! Can you believe that? I love finding great things that are super cheap!
I stamped "Believe" all across the bottom of the tin (sentiment included in the Think Pink set). I stamped another image onto a "Shrinky Dink" sheet (What ARE these things called? I can't remember for the life of me!), heated, and then added a little color.
I think I might send this to a friend. Hopefully it will bring a little cheer. Everyone loves chocolate, right? Make sure you check out all of the other Bloggers projects to see what inspired them!
