I used today's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS66, which was a sketch challenge, to design the card to go with my altered can gift packaging.
The image on my card is from Flourishes' A Year in Flowers Set 2. I stamped it in black on watercolor paper and watercolored my image with reinkers. Then I cut out the image and heat sealed it with clear embossing powder. I used a scoring tool to frame the card with score lines on all four sides.
I recycled a green bean can for my gift package and added a crushed paper flower made from recycled school notice papers. The ribbon tied around the can is a strip of ripped muslin.
I'll need interesting packaging for small end-of-school-year gifts soon, so this set will start my collection!
Thanks for clicking in to take a closer look!

This is such a beautiful gift set Emily! I love how you found DP that has little rosebuds in it to match the focal image, and another one of your FAB scrunched flowers.
