WT332 Merry and Bright

WT332 - Heavy Metal (07-20-11

The theme for this week is: Heavy Metal
Hannah Clark

I watched this video by Dawn Griffith some time ago and loved the repurposing of soda cans.
http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad...83b7970c-popup

So for heavy metal I used JustRite’s new Merry and Bright cling set and Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornament. I stamped the image with Archival dye (because I thought that it would not smudge- WRONG)! Anyway, I colored the image with “Peel-Off’s permanent marker and a gold sharpie. I cut Spellbinders Foliage branches from a ginger ale can. This was more tedious then difficult but great practice! DO NOT SEND OUT 200 cards with this procedure. I loved every minute though.

Thank you Hannah for the challenge!

Truly gorgeous. I quite enjoy using up cans with dies or for embossing. But I agree, I've had trouble with stamping smudging - and that was StazOn which I thought would be fine :D. Your ornament looks really wonderful.

Very clever! I can see how this would have been fun to make, but maybe not 200 times over!
