This was heaps of messy fun thanks to Lisa aka Shoe Girl and the fun Ways to Use It challenge - Make it Metal.
Today in the mail I received a wonderful card from Sabrina (cook22) along with some aluminium that is actually a tomato paste tube - we only have tom paste in jars, sachets and plastic tubs here.
The tomato paste metal cuts like butter!! I had to rough the surface up a bit with sandpaper to get the inks to stain the feathers and cog.
The background was done by laying strips of cardstock scraps at various widths and also a few pieces of plasterboard tape on a square of cardstock. Everything was then covered with the 2 wide strips of self adhesive silver roofing tape.
The background needed a lot of sanding before I could get any ink or paint to permanently adhere to it.
Thank you for looking and a big thank you to Sabrina for the tomato paste tubes!!

Love it, Susie. I must give this a try. I started earlier to comment on this card and got a glimpse of Cleo and her BFF and had to go there first. Your gallery is so interesting, creative, fun, and beautiful.
