The challenge at -
My son had just finished a soft drink in a can, so I grabbed it quick, cut it flat and held it over the gas hob, to get a patina on it. DON'T do this without an extractor fan and a tool to hold the can while holding on the flame. The "right" side can flame, so PLEASE be careful.
I then cut it with a scissors to the size I wanted and embossed it. I also die cut the number out. The card was embossed and the paper and metal attached, then I stamped the sentiment and a little pattern onto the number circle. Quite a quick card! I used -
Crafters Companion basket weave folder.
freebie magazine number die.
Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder
Craft Sensation paper pad
stamps magazine freebies
Tattered Lace circle pin dot die

Well that's quite the quick card, my friend! Love the embossing on the can - food for thought! Such a great masculine make!
I've never used a pop can, but it sure does make a neat metallic element with the embossing you did!
Faith, OMG you are so creative. Never give you a torch, hehe. Remind me never to say that we need a project with jeans you might rip the pants off some man just to make your card, LOL. Let alone a zipper..... sorry now I'm being naughty. When I read that on your blog I laughed so hard. I'm sure you were making your son chug that soda and he was belching all the way home.
Great idea Faith, the embossing looks fabulous xx
The embossing looks great on that can! Creative idea, fun card too!

Whoa this is seriously so cool! That card looks amazing and great new technique!!
Awesome card Faith and great technique too, I have used a can before but I just cut it and inked it ;) Viv xx
Fantastic card, Faith. I love your technique! This card is stunning! Kisses, my friend.
Gosh - didn't realise crafting could be so dangerous! Great effect though.
Wonderful idea with the can and great result.
Beautiful card.
