When I saw the challenge for today I thought dang, I can't play. I don't have any cute round tins. But then a light bulb went off in my head and here's what happened.......
I remembered back in my tole painting days I had bought some of these cute little tins to someday paint on. Well, today was that day. I found this little tin watering can. Hope it qualifies as a *tin*.
I sprayed it with a metal primer. Then stamped my flowers using Stazon black. Colored them with acrylic paints.
Drew the leaves, then colored them and the black and white square trim. The spout and rim top and bottom was painted with the blue.
Added the little dots with a stylus. Painted the flowers and leaves with a glossy varnish for shine. Well, hope you like my little tin wateirng can.......makes a cute holder for some of my stubby stamps........TFL :0)

Love it! Great coloring. Love the water can and how you painted it. I think it goes perfectly in MY country home instead of your southwestern home!!! Just a thought to ponder........ tfs.
