wall hanger - altered tin can lids

Out with the old tin can lids again - hey  great for recycling...! I love using these - perfect circles and can colour them really well with alcohol inks.
I used some images from http://freevintagedigistamps.blogspot.co.uk,to stick on to them. 
Then a cropadile  to punch holes & add eyelets, then finally some chain links to make it into a wall hanging.
