Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Decorated Tin Box using Seth Apter's Twister Dies

Welcome to a new week and a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  Our theme is "wrap it up," so I decided to decorate a metal tin.

I started by tracing the lid on a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper, then I cut out the paper and painted it with acrylic paint and watercolors.  I also shook on some Infusions color stain and spritzed it with water.

While that was drying, I cut some shapes using Seth Apter's Twisters dies and painted those.  I stamped a star pattern on one of the wonky circles using Tim Holtz's Darling Christmas stamp set.

I sprinkled some drops of neon alcohol ink on my cover for another little pop of color. 

I glued the layers on top of each other, then I sanded the lid of the tin (to make things adhere to it better) and glued my cover to it using Dina Wakley's Ultra Thick Gel Medium.  I typed some words on my typewriter and glued them to the front.  My little tin box was done!
