This illustration depicts a vintage Carnation evaporated milk tin resting on a wooden table, repurposed as a vase for a casual wildflower arrangement. The bouquet includes poppies, camellias, daisies, and mixed stems, arranged loosely rather than formally. Two butterflies hover nearby, adding light movement to the scene.
The composition draws on familiar still-life imagery, combining vintage packaging with botanical elements. Simple shapes, clear outlines, and a restrained colour palette keep the focus on the objects and their placement rather than decorative excess.
Originally designed as a greeting card, this piece centers on everyday objects and floral motifs associated with gratitude and small gestures. The illustration presents a calm, readable scene suited to printed stationery.
