This is my pile... white card from inside my girls school t-shirt.... brown paper from a parcel... a broken necklace and a broken set of wind chimes, and finally a mini cigar tin that has laid around forever!
This is what i did with all this junk...... i used SMEARED INK STAMPS....lil grumpies... you can find them herehttp://www.smearedink.com/ I LOVE THEM! LOTS!!!!!
I painted the tin top gold, then distressed it.... i stamped the grumpies...2 different ones onto the white card....one for outside, one for inside.... coloured with watercolours..... did the back grounds with ink and water, then stamped dots on.... put gold round the edges.

The words in the corner say 'dont be a grump'.
I stamped one of the small grumpies on one of the mother of pearl dangly bits off the windchime and coloured with sukura glaze pens..... i salvaged 7stands of the necklace... and hung my 'pendant' from it.
I used the brown paper inside the tin so that the necklace is safe and hidden away..... hopefully it'll make a nice surprize for someone.
