Altered Tin

I just finished up my Altered Altoid tin for the mini card swap I'm part of. The tin will hold all my wonderful cards created for me by other players in the swap. My theme was steampunk, I know this fella has to many colours to be officially called steampunk but hey its my tin and I'll play steampunk how I want...........So there :)
This "Accurate Timekeeper" was created with one of my original faces from a 1892 magazine his body is bits and pieces of reprinted images I scanned from a vintage catalog. I painted the background and had one of those happy mistakes this isn't how I had planned on it turning out but now that its done I really like the results.
This is the side of the tin I just used and old music sheet. Now that I have my tin done I can't wait to get my cards from the other players to fill this puppy up, this has been a fun swap.
With this out of the way I can now concentrate on creating some goodies for the upcoming blog giveaway,Hmmmm what to make...........
Thanks so much for dropping in I Hope your day has been going well.
Until next time Hugs Deborah
