I cut my metal element from a drink can and ran it through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder. Then I swiped black permanent ink over the raised areas and heat dried it. Then I swiped Versamark over the surface and sprinkle on gold, silver and copper EP - my copper is very old and didn't work too well, but I like the result. To finish I just added a stamped sentiment to a die cut circle and attached them with foam tape to a white card. I am playing along with the
CAS Mix Up October challenge - my elements are metal, stamping, dry embossing, heat embossing and die cuts. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day
A fabulous example of CAS card with mixing the medias. Using the can was so creative and fun. The dry embossing looks great and the heat embossing of the powders looks wonderful. Thank you for joining in the fun challenge at The CAS Mix Up x.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very clever idea to use a can for your metal Robyn - the embossing is beautiful - love the mix of colors you achieved, all the sparkle and the wonderful depth of the embossed design! thanks so much for joining us in the CAS Mix Up! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh ... this is SO COOL! Love how this turned out Robyn. What a great way to recycle to add a metal element to your card. It really looks great with the dry embossing and then the colours on top. Great work! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous heat embossed metallic eb powders and dry embossed image for your metal piece. Love how you kept all the white space and just added your circle piece with your sentiment. A real beauty, Robyn. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix Up. Hugs..

ReplyDeleteThis metal from a drink can is an inspired choice Robyn, and the embossing is so pretty with the black inking makes it really pop, together with the beautiful gold, silver and copper embossing, and finished with a lovely sentiment too. x
