"..no I don't mean rock music! (Note: I was thankful for that! I am definitely more a classical music type of girl) I would like you to make a card on any theme you like with the rule that it must include something metalic...thats all!You could use wire, charms, foil or even metallic pens. "
I went fishing today and seriously considered using a fishing hook for this challenge. I have used a hook in the past. I posted the card with a turtle to show you how I've used a fish hook :-)
This new card is a simpler card - it's meant for a 12 year old boy. I used brushed silver metal brads, silver metallic pen, and a soft drink ring pull to make the buckle. I generated the numbers by computer and coloured them in with the gel pen. The doodle rick rack was just a fine tipped black felt pen. I used a die-cut for the oval shape - no freehand this time!

The ring pull looks great Susan, another fab card :) Thanks for sharing your fish hook one again too, such a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteI hope being back at work will still let you have a little time for creativity.

I had to look twice when you said you'd used a ring-pull Susan! What a clever idea - hhmmmm I bet you can use alcohol inks on those too.....
ReplyDeleteOh I love the ring pull idea. And those turtles are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment on my blog. LOve your cards great ideas you used on the recent one and the previous ones. Loved reading your essentials list too. That was a fn challenge that one. Oh my at the 499 emails.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the recyling thing Susan... I love using ring pulls too..they always catch a bit of attention..esp from non scrappers or cardmakers.. I love them both.. Great work..
ReplyDeleteThree totally different but all equally fab cards.
ReplyDeleteI missed my Aezine this week, but as she is penning another book, we can forgive her can't we!!!
I had considered using a drink tab for a buckle for this challenge too - great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteI didn't in the end and did this instead.
