I must confess I bought about a hundred of these thin metal tins and have been hoarding them for who knows what! But I did manage to decorate on for a little gift. I used the retired set Just Buzzin' By ... one of my favorite sets. (I know I know I say that all the time!!) I water colored the hive and bee with the water color crayons and then used my aqua painter to add a bit of shimmer paint to the hive. I used some of that dreaded paper paisley petals but it works well here!! I used lots of different embellishments to pull the whole thing together. Happy Stamping!!

What a super cute tin!! I love the colors you used & the mix of embellishments!
hehe I've been hoarding mine too! I love this so cute maybe I will try to not hoard one! lol
So cute, Carmen! Those bees are just so fun.
It is bee-utiful! I love it. The paper works really well and I love the embelishments. Quick question, how do you get your corners done so well? Maybe it is the size of the tins I use as I have trouble getting them to all four corners to look good. Also, curious to what adhesives you used. I love decorating tins but I like to hoard them too!

Let's not talk about how many tins I have tucked under the stairs in the basement. But I love what you did with this one here. Fabulous!
Ha! Now I know why they were sold out when I tried to order some - you were ALL hoarding them!
You are right that paper looks fabulous on your project! Secretly - it's one of my favs!
We really aren't confessing to how many tins we have are we? Your is adorable! Love even the "dreaded" paper on this!
SO cute!
