Multiple challenges...

Challenge#1: Last week, when I submitted this card to the AFSS18 challenge, Allison didn't think it was masculine enough to add me to the list of entrants ;-) . So here it is Allison. Thanks for challenging me further.

Challenge#2: During the PTI blog hop, I saw Debbie Olson's diamond grid (come to find out, she used a square grid here) and wanted to try it using my tools (fiskars cutter and my dead ball point pen). She used a scor-pal, which I don't have .

Challnge#3: I bought screw brads from Gina K. about a month and half ago and wanted to use them.

Challenge#4: Rosie, my SBS sister recently showed us how to use tomato paste tubes in our creations here. Wanted to try it out myself. Didn't have one, but found a soda can. Gold Vs silver.

Challenge#5: Recently, I signed up to be a CTMH consultant. They sent me a few clear stamp sets among other things in a big box. I wanted to use at least one thing from CTMH in every one of my creations, starting June 1st(close enough).

The swiss dots you see are embossed on a piece of soda can inside out. Used acetate to stick my letter stickers and laid the swiss dotted metal behind it. Here is another for AFSS19 challenge, challenge#6 and soda can makes it another entry for Arty Girlz recycling, challenge#7.

Stamped a little flower from studio G stamps inside the grid using versamark. Also stamped the "you are my hero" from the post marked set and silver embossed it to match the can and the card base. These postal stamps are so small embossing took away the detail. May be this will help clarify the blob of silver.
I am happy with how it turned out. What do you think?

Here is the second half of the can and the oval cut out from this card. Asking to be made into another.
Thanks for stopping by today. TTFN.
