Metallics

Virginia's View this month is all about metallics, and it coincides nicely with my receiving some metal sheets from Add a Little Dazzle for winning one of their challenges recently.

Here's my entry - it was really a fun one to make!

I used Simon's Layered Tree die and  gold, turquoise, and pink metal sheets to cut the parts for my tree (the trunk is kraft), then glued it to this little pale aqua dot background.  My sentiment is from Simon's Presents and Ornaments, embossed in Ranger super fine detail silver embossing powder.  Since the finished panel is alot longer than it is wide, I cut my card base down to  its dimensions. 

I'd like to enter this first one into Less Is More's Non-Traditional Colors for Christmas challenge.

These metal sheets are really fun to work with!  And I really liked this color scheme, so here's another card:

supplies: Aqua and white cardstock, pink and silver metal, Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake and Penny Black snowflake, Memory Box Peace Collage, embossed in silver as above.  

I strung my snowflake with some of my husband's fishing filament across the opening, and then lifted the top panel above the rest of the card base. 

The smaller Penny Black snowflake fits exactly into the larger Lawn Fawn one!
