'Hot Metal'
Use something metallic on your projects.
We have a new sponsor this week:
The prize is a £10 voucher to J & C Creations!
My card is something a little bit different for me...it's for my Uncle's 80th birthday next week, and my Dad asked for a card to send to him...the brief was 'not cute'! I used a couple of Penny Black background stamps ('Paisley Swirls' & 'Circular Design')...stamping them in Versamark on to a couple of different shades of blue card, then brushed 'Soft Gold' Cosmic Shimmer mica pigment over the top. I cut the stars out using Nesties, then layered them up. For the 'metal' element on my card, I cut the numbers (using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet) from a sheet of gold coloured metal.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Crafty Catz - Show Us Your Metal
- Crop Stop - Are You Feeling Blue
- Here Come the Boys - Metal and/or Embossing
- Love to Create - Anything Goes
- Scrapbook Sisters - Anything Goes
- Sisterhood of Crafters - Stars
PS - I have candy on offer at the moment...click here to find out more - be quick though...it closes tonight at 9pm BST.
A simple but very effective card. Hugs, Claire x
