It's Tea(Tin) Time

I love the rain we've been having. I think my little birdies like it too. Not only does it give me an excuse to bird watch and drink tea, but it is making everything bloom!

I say all this to tell you the idea I had this week for the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #115 challenge...

Heather Nichols Challenged us to use impression plates on something else besides paper to create our own one of a kind project. 

So...

 I die cut aluminum foil 

using the PTI Matt Stack #3 die.

 Then I cut more foil using the PTI Friendship Jar Die

but just kept the lid. (I'll save the jar for another project)

(FYI-  On all die cuts, I adhered cardstock to the back of the foil to give it more weight)

After I embossed and inked my Matt # 3 die cut, I cut off the bottom...

to come up with this...

So now I hope you see how the rain and tea idea collided with the MIM embossed foil which led me to making a tea tin.

Go make something for yourself and look at all the unique ideas:
