This is for March 2011 WishRak Creation Station Challenge #2 Homemade Embellishments
"This challenge is to include a hand made embellie. Some ideas: crocheted flowers, die cut flowers, die cut chipboard accents, faux brads."
I read up on Faux Brads and I decided to give them a try. I simply punched out a piece of DS paper and gently squeezed some Crystal Effects on them and let dry. They were tricky and messy but I finally got a few to work for me. Do they look like brads?
I received the Lion images in pink and brown from a Wish RAK member.

Your handmade "brads" are awesome! And I like the way you raised the lion's mane and face, and used the brighter pink with the brown...Great baby card!

I love this card! And you could use this for so much more than a baby card... like a "roarin' good time" on your birthday or some other wild themed sentiment--even if hand written or printed on paper from computer--would be great! Thanks for sharing, and like many other people who have already commented: the brads look real, and I LOVE the 3D head/mane.
