Challenge Title: Strength of Steel
Hostess: rgrohall aka Rebecca
Keyword: HYCCT1309
Date: Wednesday, October 9th, 2013

***************CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION*******************

Whether you are a survivor, currently fighting your own battle or you're part of a support network: you have superman strength - STRENGTH OF STEEL! To celebrate that strength, show off your metal :-) Feel free to use aluminum foil in your creation, recycled soda cans, home improvement flashing, or use a metal embellishment! Check out our samples! To use aluminum foil - simple adhere it (glue stick works great) to a piece of cardstock. Once its adhered - you can emboss it, punch it, die cut it, etc! If you haven't ever used a soda can for a fabulous embellishment - rinse one out and check out these tutorials:

Metal Stars: Splitcoaststampers - Tutorials

Are you having fun? We hope so because the cards you are making are going to bring some much love & joy into the people going through cancer, their caregivers and loved ones.

I have to start wrapping up my crafty projects and start the exiting process of packing and cleaning so this is a quick little card using a metal embellishment. Maybe when we get back, I can make another and play with cans!!!

Thanks for the great challenge!

Amour!

I used heavy-duty aluminum foil. I have been wanting to try this technique after watching some youtube videos on StampTV. Aluminum Foil Fun by kramomma - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
