Today I created this cute little tin using Trinity Paper Arts- Surf N Swim by Christopher. This paper set went perfectly with a new set of Color Box chalks called Queties- small stacks of Cat's Eye pigment inks. The one I used is called Fiesta! This collection of Surf and Swim is double sided and has a great mix of patterns and larger design prints for full page layouts. The colors are vibrant and the card stock is nice and thick! So if you are like me and you keep all those cute little gift tins because you know "I'll use that for something!".... Time to get them out and give them new lives!

{I got to use the BOY I found of these vintage advertising pieces}

{Trinity paper Arts sticker, raised up on some foam core and backed with some burlap}

{I used smootch Spritz on this sticker trim to make it shiny and of course inked all the edges with my Color Box pigment ink}

{I also used smootch spritz on the "waves" I made by curling the card stock around a pencil}

{This pennant is also from the Trinity Paper Arts collection, it was just too cute!}
Supplies:
Trinity Paper Arts Surf N Swim
ColorBox Queties- Fiesta collection
