Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
On a recent trip to the Land o� Lydia (aka Texas) while shopping, I came across a whole wall of Milagros metalwork for your home (or office). Now you are probably wondering -what is a milagro? Milagro means "miracle" and once upon a time milagros represented wishes and thanks offered in prayers. They are traditional Hispanic folk art.
Your card challenge is to incorporate metal, foil, tin, metallic cardstock or even metallic paint into your project. Choose a traditional �Milagros� symbol of a heart, eyes, hands, crowns, praying figures or other objects with a symbolic meaning. Holidays are a wonderful time for us to give thanks or ask for prayers for family and friends.

Love this challenge! I used household foil for my die cut hearts and framing for my wedding card- adding some coloring. Finished with a washi tape/scalloped border and a twine bow. Here's FF16rgrohall together forever

Great challenge, Rebecca! I ended up making three cards. The two with the red foil were my original idea, then I decided to try the Faux Patina technique. Since I had never done it before, I went to our trusty Splitcoast tutorials. I think I kinda overdid the versamark ink, and the gold embossing powder, but I really like the look, and will defiinitely try it again. Thanks so much for stretching the left brain, Rebecca!
I found a whole roll of this thin metal in my in-laws stuff as we were clearing their house and saved it "just in case". Well...here comes a challenge and look what I have to play with! I've never used any metal like this before on a card or in my cuttlebug and was surprised to find how easy it was to cut, emboss, and adhere. Not sure what I was waiting for but glad you pushed me to once again try something new!

I had to go out of my comfort zone for this card but I loved it. I had just purchased some of the nuve embellishment mousse and thought this would be perfect for my card. Thank you for challenging us.
