My Other Creations: Wish Catcher Altered Tin

It's another Monday and that means another fabulous challenge theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is, "Make a Wish."  I got to thinking about how wishes are made such as on shooting stars or with pennies thrown into a fountain.  But with all of that wishing going on all over the world,  I started hoping that nobody's wishes fell through the cracks.  That gave me the idea to make a Wish Catcher who would scoop up any stray wishes that might've gotten lost.  And why not make her retro-trendy-classy, too?  Here she is:

The Wish Catcher girl is from Tim Holtz's Found Relatives-Occasions card sets and I covered her dress with Washi tape.  I made her wish-catching net out of wire, tulle, and tinsel twine.  The tin is a mini bread loaf pan that I found at a thrift store.  I sanded it, then painted the outside pink and the inside teal using Gesso, Distress Paint and Dina Wakley acrylic paint.  The city scene is made from a fabulous stamp set called Urban Scribble, which I colored with Distress Ink and layered.  The side panel features a great typewriter image from Kaisercraft's My Year, My Story stamp set and I also added some Tim Holtz Symphony Washi tape.  I made wheels for the city scene out of spools, Bingo game pieces and Reverse Confetti's Swirly dies.  The "wish" words are from Paper Smooches' Chart Toppers stamp set.
