Upcycling a tomato can for Visible Image

Hello it's time for my fortnightly design team post for Visible Image.

We have a new challenge running for the next 2 weeks over on the Facebook customer page. The theme is up cycling.

I had a look in my recycling box and this is what I found... an empty tin of tomatoes

In my studio I use the rather attractive Pizza Express passata tins to store lots of my crafting accessories including pens, brushes etc. I decided that I would decorate my tin for some more crafting bits.

 I removed the label, measured the length and width of the tin (between the rounded end plates) and cut a piece of card. I added 1 cm onto the length of a piece of card for a small overlap.

I decided to use the eye from See everything

and some art words from The word needs art

I also added some extra "circles" using the stamp from my Guardian angel

set

Once I got my stamps out I decided to also decorate one of my other tins so I stamped up 2 new "labels". I stamped using Versafine Clair Nocture and clear embossed.

I added some extra circles using the stamps in the Guardian angel set.

I masked the eyes and added Brushos, rose red and violet to 1 label and Paperartsy Violetta Infusions to the other.

Then I removed the masks to reveal the whites of the eyes.

I coloured the pupils using glitter pens.

The clarity of Visible Image stamps really are second to none,

Finishing touches included white pen accents and glitter layer pen to some of the circles. 

I then attached the labels to the tins using red line tape;

And here they are;

And also back in my studio already filled!

and one last shot

I would like to enter my up cycled tins into the following challenges;
