This is a terrible image because of the shiny panel, You will have to trust me! I am excited about a discovery that some of you have probably done a lot. For a
recycling piece I used the
foil lid on a coffee can. I intended to cut the Cuttlebug Thanks, but since the foil was thinner than cs, it did not cut. Instead, it sort of embossed - looks a lot like what I call tin art that was popular a few years ago - using a nail to create tiny holes in metal. I did sponge some black ink but it did not really fill in the word outline as I expected. I also die cut the stars and the Spellbinder banner (border) from the coffee can foil. This is another favorite color combo -
black and white, this time with silver. I was recently in a gift shop and saw a large collection of CAS black and white cards. I wanted to take pictures of all of them! The embossing is a Darice hearts folder. I think this would be suitable as a
masculine thank you.

It is really hard to photograph shiny objects, isn't it? This was a great idea, and you carried it out beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Frilly and Funkie "It's Not Easy Being Green" Challenge!
At first glance I thought it was a stamp that had been pushed into hot embossing powder to create the panel. Thanks for sharing your neat "new faux tin art technique" / recycling items with us .
Such a cool card. Love your recycled lid project. Thanks for playing along with Mojo Monday!
Such a classy card and a really cool effect! Thanks for joining us at A Gem of a Challenge xx
