For this week's VERY creative and interesting technique challenge: metal tape. Oh, wow, this was a whole lot of messy fun! I couldn't find metal tape in my little burg, so I ran some aluminum foil through the xyron. Most of the rub-on metallic color rubbed off-- oh well.
Also for the fan club duet theme challenge: bike (two wheels)/silver and gold.

Yay! It worked. This is gorgeous. I'm working on trying to make it with foil too, but I keep rubbing off the ink. I am going to hunt for black paint next. If I can come up with something anywhere near as beautiful as yours, I will be happy.

Fabulous masculine card, the foil looks brilliant. The mesh & bike underneath worked great! Cant believe the Stazon didnt stay on, you've saved me the trouble of trying that idea! Love those punchy holes too!

Your project turned out fantastic! Love the textures and the bicycle! BTW, I wouldn't have noticed that the metal was rubbed off if you hadn't mentioned it. It looks like it was intended as part of your design!
