This card took many steps, but the idea is really cool! The paper is double sided from Cosmo Cricket, Gretel Collection. I used faux metal technique to make closure for card with one of the circles punched from Big Pieces, with copper embossing powder. The "share" chipboard was sanded and distressed. Flowers from Making Memories with copper eyelet centers. Tied gold embroidery floss around another eyelet to keep the triangular flap closed. Inside of card also features faux metal peony, and is pictured next if you care to follow along!!

Yikes, now I see the front! This is definitely you: I take back whatever it was I said about this being different from the style I'm beginning to recognize as being all yours! The front of this card is so totally awesome: I so admire your creativity: It's the essence of what makes the gallery so unique. Love your style...any style as long as it comes from you, is totally great to me! Fabulous card, my friend.

WOW! You used a lot of variety in manufacturers!! Yeah! Thanks for the faux metal idea. I hadn*t heard of it, but the minute I looked at that medallion, I had to know how you did it. Thanks for sharing that!
