Heavy Metal Bird House

Photo Details

Poster: Mothermark

Here is my card for the Heavy Metal Challenge. Make a card with metal on it....

1. I made a birdhouse card like this a week or two ago for a fellow SCSer.
2. Because my sister-in-law is in town for my neice's wedding...I wanted to make one for her since she collects birdhouses and I don't have to mail it! Good thing as it is very heavy..........
heavy...get it?
3. The flowers are made out of gold metal, I used gold wire for the stems and of course the brads are metal.
4. My husband said....That's your heavy metal card?...That's not what I had in mind! I said...So, what's your point?

I just love your birdhouse cards. Those metal flowers are awesome. I really like the cb bg which makes it looks like the texture of wood for the birdhouse. I guess Ken thought there would be a bird on a post holding his electric guitar and heavy metal tunes flowing from it. :)
