A card for both SCS's Christmas Card Challenge and LateBlossom's One Layer Challenge. LateBlossom called this challenge "Heavy Metal" - nothing to do with the music but rather to use something metallic on a one layer card. It seemed the perfect opportunity to use the "silver frames" I bought in England when I was there on vacation. They are peel and stick frames in 1/4" increments - a real bargain. They enable you to frame your image but still keeping it a one layer card. But, as I discovered using them for the first time for this card, it's really tricky to get them laid down perfectly square! And I also discovered that if you're embossing the image inside them with a heat gun, you have to do it before laying down the frame or the frame comes unstuck and warps. But I sure like the finished effect!
