metallic wishes

the wonders of embossing powders... especially the metallic ones in gold, silver and copper!

card was made for CAS.ology #94 challenge: Metal

the bird cage die cut is from Cheery Lynn Designs - Bird Cage, whilst the sentiment is from Hero Arts - Good Luck stamp set

I die-cut the bird-cage on two pieces of card stock to give it added thickness. The die-cut was then sponged over with VersaMark, sprinkled with silver and gold embossing powders and heat-embossed. This process was repeated once again for a more pronounced metallic finish.

Similar process used for the 'wishing you the best' sentiment which was popped up using mounting tape.

Card was finished off with a string of pearls attached to the top of the bird cage.

You turn me on...... electric!

made a fun and simple card based on this week's CAS.ology Week 93: Electric challenge

the electric die-cut (with jagged edges) is from Paper Smooches Borders 1, the sentiment and cute telly image is from Paper Smooches Boob Tubes ... added the mini heart and zigzag lines within the telly in line with the sentiment!

Card is also entered for this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS - May 4-10 Anything Goes challenge

Post Note (6 May 2014) - super cool that above card was selected by one of the Design Team members for Honourable Mention!
