Interests

I really enjoyed this technique.  Although it was really difficult to find an actual can of soda these days.  Seems the stores in my neck of the woods only carry soda in plastic bottles.  But I managed to find a can of tea.  I only have three colors of alcohol ink but they worked beautifully.

My first thought when thinking about interests is flower gardening.  This is the time of year when I start planning what to do to my flower beds.  I can hardly wait for the weather to warm up so I can get my hands in the dirt.  I spend the whole spring with dirt under my fingernails.  So I just had to make a flower.

Hi Pamela, we have loads of cans in our house but when they are empty we tend to crush them before putting them in the recycling so I didn't even bother. I did open up and clean a couple of tomato puree metal tubes a while back but didn't venture to use them either. I guess I'm a bit scared of the sharp edges. I just used metal sticky backed tapes in the end. I love your flower and the alcohol inks look super too. As for the embossing I used stencils through my Cuttlebug, but you can get embossing folders too. You'd still need a diecutting or embossing machine to use them though. BJ

Oh no the word verification thingy, I'll try my best to post but I often bomb out on these... Ever thought of removing it and just using moderation if you have had (wish to avoid) any problems?
