Created for the Lots to Do Challenge. This project took most of the weekend to complete, but I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. I took a regular tin can, painted it with black acrylic, then applied a rusting solution (2 part kit). I did the same with some die cut tags and hearts, plus a chain and a key. The paper with sponged with a mixture of gesso and Lumiere paint in Halo blue-Gold. A little rusting solution was added to the paper, which was then stamped in black, and fixed around the base of the can.
I added a little of the lumiere paint to the can, tags and hearts, smudging it here and there with my finger. These were also lightly sprayed with Glitz Spritz spray (Desert Moon Gecko Green). I attached the chain using brads (holes made using cropodile). Tags, hearts and key attached with jump rings. The tags at the base have grungeboard letters painted with lumiere paint.
