Bring on the Metal at 4 Crafty Chicks!

Good morning! Can you believe it is still snowing and it is colder than yesterday with a higher wind chill. Alas I have to go out to get my cards to the store. Pretty sure that they are done with my Christmas ones that didn't sell. Actually I am happy about going to town so that I can see what is new in the store.

So another week has flown bye, did someone put the days on high speed? Yep, today is Thursday and you know what that means...another fabby challenge by 4 Crafty Chicks.
We are on challenge #20...isn't that awesome. Us 4 Chicks have just loved bringing challenges to you.

Challenge #20 this week is brought to you buy our hostess-with-the-mostess MELISSA. What is the challenge you say? Melissa is challenging us to use METAL on our cards. What a terrific challenge since, I have quite a big at home and forget to use it. Thanks girlie for getting me to use my forgotten about goodies.

I used the sketch from Midnight Sketch Challenge #86. Their sketches are awesome because they always have a fancier one and a dressed down one. The other two challenges I would like to enter this one into is Top Tip Tuesday #17 Anything Goes and The Paper Players #29- Valentines Day.

This is my creation for our challenge. The metal on my card are both of the silver flowers and silver brads.

Recipe: Stamp: Whiff of Joy; Paper: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate chip and Real Red; Ink: Versa fine black and pretty in pink; Accessories: pretty in pink ribbon, glue dots, sponge, su markers, copics, filigree brads, pink and brown pearls and Twizzle embossing folder.

If you have some time grab a cup of java, put on some craft making music and show us your inspiration at 4 Crafty Chicks. We would love to see your work this week.

My other Crafty Chicks have created some master pieces this week. Their links are:

Melissa - My Paper Obsesson
Leanne - Banking on Crafts
Lori - Inkingly Yours

May your week be filled with craftiness and may we be lucky enough to share in it!

Thank for stopping bye and sharing with me and 4 Crafty Chicks.

  8. I love this image! It reminds me of my daughter. She's such a girly, girl. I love the way you've colored her and the soft pink highlights around the tag are great! The metal and pearls are so very pretty and coordinate so well with the image and embossing. Great job!
    Hope to see you again for the next challenge.
