Today's WT was to use metal. Well, I was so cold and wet when I got home from work that I had to go to bed for a while to get warm, so this is a quick and easy card. I used a SU Build a Brad, which is metal, and I added a centre punched from copper foil.
A2 white base.
Layer of white card embossed with Floral Fantasy ef, the edges swiped with Versamark and embossed with Verdigris ep.
Foliage is Spellbinders Foliage cut from white card and embossed with Verdigris.
Flower is Sizzix Flower Layers #2 cut from a couple of shades of pink Bazzill (sponged with pink) and two from some purple organza that came round a bunch of flowers.
I heated the brad, dipped it in the verdigris ep and heated it again to melt the ep, and then added the copper centre while it was still hot.
I tried a sentiment, but it looks better just like it is .

Sabrina, what a lovely card and I find it hard to believe that it was so quick and simple. I just left a rather long comment for you when I was thrown out of the internet, so I'm afraid this short one will have to do.
The ep in verdigris is fantastic. One of my favorite colors and here it is a charm on your project. TFS!

Your card is beautiful!! I like the simplicity. How is it that you were cold and wet?? It's over 100 degrees here today, and humid as heck. I'm really interested to know what you were doing.
