This was heaps of messy fun thanks to Lisa aka Shoe Girl and the fun Ways to Use It challenge - Make it Metal.
Today in the mail I received a wonderful card from Sabrina (cook22) along with some aluminium that is actually a tomato paste tube - we only have tom paste in jars, sachets and plastic tubs here.
The tomato paste metal cuts like butter!! I had to rough the surface up a bit with sandpaper to get the inks to stain the feathers and cog.
The background was done by laying strips of cardstock scraps at various widths and also a few pieces of plasterboard tape on a square of cardstock. Everything was then covered with the 2 wide strips of self adhesive silver roofing tape.
The background needed a lot of sanding before I could get any ink or paint to permanently adhere to it.
Thank you for looking and a big thank you to Sabrina for the tomato paste tubes!!

Gosh, I've never had trouble with stuff sticking to my aluminium tape, but maybe it's different to your roofing tape. I love the way you used the strips of card to create a sun-ray effect, picked up on with your lovely golden colours. I'm glad you had sunshine for your photo to help us see how lovely and shiny it is. The combination of the gear/cog and feathers is fab.
