Altered Flower Container

It is time for another altered art/mixed media challenge at Altered Eclectics. 

I found this tin container in a free pile at a garage sale and decided to alter the tin and create a door hanger for my front door. 

My Altered Tin 

I sanded my container   and then painted it with gesso and added rice paper by Stamperia.  I loved this pretty garden pattern. I used crackle paint, stain on parts of the container to give the container an antique look. I also added jupe cord on the handle and and brown lace on the bottom of the tin. 

Using a stencil and stencil paste I added the word Beautiful  and then added a metal dragonfly. 

Here are some closer looks
