Stamping with Stazon on a metal box

Cute, simple:  a nice useful tin for tea bags or coffee.

I stamped directly on to the tin with black Stazon ink using my rubber stamps.

If you make a mistake (who me?) you rub it off with stazon cleaner and try again.

Stamping on the lid with stazon black ink was just as easy ... it reads:
 "Caffeine isn't a drug, its a vitamin!"

So then I made a Poppy Parade paper daisy with a vintage brad on top.

Added some ribbon ...

Early Espresso striped grosgrain of course, it kind of goes with the tin do you think?

Then some extra flowers and a Poppy Parade red tag...

And voila!

Hand made gift!

On one side the tag says "perk up" and the other side says "Tea-rific" so you can put either of your caffeine vitamins inside the tin.

I thought this will make a nice hand made gift for a friend of mine.

I can show you now as she has had her birthday and is enjoying her cups of coffee.
