Treats Not Tricks

Hi and Welcome back to a Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge post!  The challenge this time around is hosted by Maggi and she has challenge us to create Treats not Tricks!

She describes the challenge as:

"Choose a theme and make something that will hold a treat for someone.  It could be a Halloween treat bag, a Valentine's candy box, a birthday card for a special person that holds a treat (could be a gift card "treat" or a bite of chocolate), anything that can hold a treat.  So, for this challenge, choose a theme and make a vintage or shabby chic treat project to treat your someone special!"

I had a sweet mint tin that I have been holding onto and thought this would be the perfect time to bring it out and decorate it up!

 The decor was chosen by some beautiful Country Christmas paper from Prima.  I saw the pretty images and decided to use them as decor on my tin and my little tag that fits sweetly inside.

I didn't realize how fun it would be to decorate this tiny gift box.  I think it will be great for a gift of jewelry for one of my girls.

The tin slides open and I gave it a quick white wash with a piece of pretty paper on the bottom. 

I created a tag to fit inside the tin as an additional surprise for the recipient.

The tin was covered in the Stamperia Oriental Garden paper.  I added a hint of white acrylic paint and distressed the edges to give it a softer effect.  

I cut out the deer, wreaths and the sentiments from the Christmas in the Country to accent the tag and tin cover. 

The tin got layered with the images and a dusting of mica flakes along the bottom.  The pine cones and raffia bow were painted with a lovely metallique gold effect. 

Hope this has you thinking of what type of treats you can create so you can join us in the challenge! 

The winner will earn a chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
