Hi! This card was made for today's Technique Lovers Challenge: Metal Stamping. We were to cut up a drink can, stamp on it, and use it on a card....Say WHAT??? LOL!
So, I drank a Diet Coke. I rinsed out the can, and cut off the top and bottom. I realized that cans are pretty flimsy! So, I cut some Sizzix leaves and used my Copic Airbrush to color them.(YG03, YR24,E39) Then, I was out of metal. I drank another Diet Coke, and cut it apart! Then, I stamped the image on the metal with VersaMark and embossed in Copper. Why emboss? The Staz On sprays off with the Copic Airbrush, embossing shows up and stays there! I sprayed the cut out flower with BG13, BG72, B24. (I used E39 for the dotted look.) Stamped 2 images so and cut out the center of one and popped it. I had to drink another Diet Coke to cut out the Sizzix Swirls. I used E39 in the airbrush to color them.
I sprayed the circle and punched lace with YR00, YR24 and E39.

Another incredibly beautiful card! Would you consider doing a tutorial on the copic airbrush? You do such gorgeous stuff with it!

Yet another outstandingly awesome card. The flower is gorgeous and doesn't look like metal in the picture. One day I'd love the opportunity to sit down and share a diet coke with you and watch you create with that air brush!!
Cheers!
