Metal. Hmm.... I don't use a lot of it but I did on this card. Those 3 rhinestone brads are definitely metal as you can see by the metal rims. That's probably about as metal as I get, lol. So along w/ today's WT challenge I'm also adding it to Tuesday's color challenge. (Did I mention I LOVE this color combo?)
For the Sweet William flowers, I stamped them w/ choc ink and die cut the various sizes, added color w/ markers then added some dimension w/ a stylus. After stacking them together, I inserted the rhinestone brads to hold them in place.
The bg was also stamped w/ choc ink and a little color added in places. I didn't have the right color of ribbon, so I used markers and a water brush to add the color in a soft, water color look. The sentiment was die cut w/ a small tag. I also added some neptune ink to the mint layer before attaching everything to my 5.5 x 4.25 card.
Thank so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
