Eroded metallic, spring colours and vintage garden!

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you are good and thanks for your comments on yesterdays post. Did you have a good bank holiday Monday? We did - it went away in a flash though! I feel like time just disappears these days! Don't know where! We went to my friend Julias house - she still teaches at the school I used to teach at - in chemistry! She's on her own - her children have grown up and flown the nest -   we have decided to spend a week together in Cornwall during the school holidays - she is so good with Lucy and penny I am sure we'll have fun!!! Anyway - we managed to get the cottage booked today - its near Falmouth - and looks just perfect! Here's hoping!

Today I would like to share with you the card I've made for another chemistry teacher - our old boss - and the lady I run most often with! I've made it with a few challenges in mind including compendium-of-curiosities-3-challenge-29: Eroded metallic which is sponsored this time by inspirationemporium. You will need to look at book to see the technique but it was lots of fun!!!

Here's what I did:

I started using the eroded metallics technique on a piece of hard board then cut the watering can using an eileen hull die. I filled it with garden greens, and other Tim flowers made using the new dies and the floral stamps. I have used distress inks in the colouring of the flowers - including the lovely new twisted citron! Its lush!!!

I also used a Tim butterfly from the butterfly duo and embossing folder and used the Tim stamp 'remember the now'.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
