My use of metal is two-fold:
1. I used gold leafing "scraps" on my image panel for the bg. Being shiny and my limited photography skills, needless to say, the glimmer and shine is left to your imagination. Gold leaf is gold metal that has been rolled or pounded into micron thinness, but it is still metal. I also used the shade of red "bole" that is traditionally used under gold leaf.
2. the metal coin charm.

Oh my goodness this is fantastic! I love the wonderful colors and detail on your image and the super bamboo texture and that metal coin is a perfect addition. You went over the top with the colors on your image with the red and gold leafing. Thank you for making a card for my Make it Metal challenge!
