Hi Folks,
I thought I would share this card I made last week for future SIL's birthday.
I bought some metal foil tape last year, and used it with this Couture Creations EF, but that was as far as I got! I decided this was a good start, especially when I was short of time,so I followed the Tim Holtz Riveted Patchwork technique from Compendium of Curiosities Vol 2 for the card base, the sentiment panel is from a Spellbinders EF, and a TH sentiment stamped and heat embossed with black EP. Another piece used up out of the 'need to finish' box.
I am entering this at:
Sugar Creek Hollow - Metal Mania
Hiding in My Craft Room - Embossing
My Time to Craft - Men Only
Raise the Bar - Anything Goes
Cards Galore - One for the Men
The Crafting Cafe - Anything Goes
Well that's it for now, hope you're all having a good Sunday.
