Faith's challenge to use metal on our card this week set me to thinking. Rather than use the first thing that came into my head, which would have been hardware of some kind, I decided to take her literally. So I used a piece of gold-colored sheet metal I had left from a class I took about a year ago. I ran the metal through my Cuttlebug, using the Bird Call embossing folder. After making a frame using a piece of chipboard, I covered it with Always Artichoke DSP and taped the gold piece behind it. I pierced down the sides of a piece of Very Vanilla and glued it to a Kraft card base. Olivia the Owl was stamped with Palette Burnt Umber ink and colored with Prismacolor and Copic Markers and then glued onto the front of the frame. A few pieces of ribbon and the sentiment cut with my Word Window Punch and I was finished.

I LOVE that copper embossed panel and how you framed it with chipboard! What an eye catcher! The little owl sitting at the bottom of the card is too cute! Great card!!

Oh, I love this idea of using the sheet metal in the cuttlebug and it is a perfect background for this cute owl. Also, nice chipboard frame. Great card!!
