This is for the Inspiration challenge today. I based this on recycled oil drum art http://www.greenheartshop.org/eco-su...-wall-art.html
I didn't get the peace sign in here, but I did get the bird and branches, and with the silver, the metal of the oil drum is captured.
The bird is stamped with Versa Mark ink, and embossed with silver ep. The leaves and biggest flower are attached and all of this is run through the CB in the polka dots ef.
The other two flowers are then adhered with the help of a brad.

That is just gorgeous!! I love your embedded embossing with the black and silver. I was interested in that oil drum art because I remembered it from another IC last year, only that one was all painted. I liked the plain metal look, and I love what you've done based on it.

Jennifer, your card is FABULOUS! We selected similar pieces of art for our inspiration, but I think you captured the design and metallic quality SO much better than I did. One really gets a sense of "metal" with your embossing and shiny glitter. The bird is particularly lovely.
