Stamped and colored image. Milk can colored with Metallic Silver pencil. In fact I own a milk can just like this one. I brought it back from a trip to Wisconsin.
Embossed Galvanized paper with Tins EF. Sponged with Basic Gray. Cut out image with Rectangler die and glued to DSP. Tied twine around embossed Tin.
My style is a little of everything. I do like Embossing folders, gives a card more dimension and definitely dies....frames, etc. Some watercolor.
Mainly I like to make cards that take no extra postage. Because I mail a lot of cards during the year.
Thanks Francie for a great idea. TFL

This is stunning, Carolyn. The metallic bg is fabulous with the ef you chose and it coordinates so well with the metal look of the milk jug. The deep red Matt and flowers look very pretty with the silver. Beautiful work of art.

Ohhh I love this Carolyn. I love how you tie everything together through colour and matting, backgrounds or edges, this card is no exception, everything looks wonderful. I remember those great old milk cans...highly sought after for folk art and decoupage hey.

Pretty design Carolyn and I can understand the easy to post cards, I send a lot too and sometimes it's really expensive, maybe I should try to make lighter cards!! I love the pretty milk can with the beautiful flowers and the embossed bg too!!

Carolyn, your embossed folder in metallic looks great with the milk can...how cool that you have one like the stamped one. Pretty flowers and I like the piercing, too.
