cards. Not too fond of the way it turned out, but...nothing else to post today :-) Don't worry, you don't have to leave me a courtesy comment. LOL!
I made this card with three things in mind. YKYR's Heavy-Metal challenge, Challenges to Love "Bling it on" challenge and for the Caring Community at my DS's school for a lady who is having major surgery.
CTMH had a clearance sale at the beginning of the month and they had these sheets of metal, which they called silver foil for 2 bucks. I have never seen any thing like this and I thought I would give it a try for that price. Two 9x12 sheets of aluminum(I think), very pliable and perfect substitute for my soda cans. I embossed it using cuttlebug embossing folder and colored using sharpie.
Now my relatives and friends don't have to think I am weird for asking them to give me their empty soda cans. I almost never drink soda, so I had to take theirs. ROFL!
The flower in the middle was a again from the Decorative Dainties (Sorry Smriti! I have yours, but it came after my PO trip yesterday) that I used in my ornament below. I had some left overs and I cut it up to mount on my metal and blinged it on. The corner flourishes/flowers and sentiment are from inkadinkado Collaged Expressions set. Inkadinkado clear stamps and CTMH inks don't get along very well :-(
See I blinged the corners too. You just can't see very well :-)
Thanks for stopping by today. TTFN.

Well, I like this metal myself! I think it looks really cool! Did you emboss it?...well duh, yea, but how? LOL! Also, did you use markers on it,for the red color? I think something this shiny, just doing the embossing and it being the whole card, maybe just a shear ribbon, would be soo pretty for Christmas, like using one of the CB new Christmas folders...got me thinking! LOL!
Don't be so hard on yourself Anna!
Your card looks great and I'm wild about the stamped flowers on each corner. The colors are vivid and the bit of bling is so pretty!
Take care and have a great weekend.
hugs
risa:)
p.s. my package arrived today and I can't wait to play with it!:)
Hi Anna, Just popping over to wish you a great weekend!
I LOVE how your card turned out! You are way too hard on yourself! The metal looks great, and I love the "blingy" corners too!
Hugs!

Anna...sometimes we like our stuff and sometimes we don't...like other's have said don't be so hard on yourself you are fabulous!
You may like it a little more if you ruffed up the silver I'm not sure I keep recalling how you thought you made your tags look "dirty" but it may be worth a try.
Love the foil!!
and the little tiny jewels in all the flowers are beautiful
I think this is fantastic! That cuttled foil is awesome, and I love how the stamps in the corner frame the whole thing!!

Just LOVERLY, Anna!!! That metal piece is gorgeous; you totally rocked all the challenges ... you're good like that, though!
We must continue our pow-wow on the new catalog ... later?!?
Huggies!!
Hey, forgot to thank you for playing in our rockin' challenge!!
'Cuz ... YOU know you ROCK!!
Great creation Anna!
Anna, I think this is a lovely card! I like the silver metal with the red! Also love those *bling-ed* flowers!!! That is sooo cool that you used soda cans, I would have never thought of that! And then to have the wisdom to put your tin through the cuttelbug...you must be a blast to be around IRL!!! glad to know ya!!! Maria
Hmmmmmm.....I actually like it. Maybe it's the orange throwing it off? I actually bought that CB folder today. LOL
Note in advance, this is NOT a courtesy comment, LOL. You are too funny! I love this! How you got the metal to look like it had ribbon running through it, (that is some cool metal! And the way the corners are stamped. What a great idea. And That bling looks so cute and wee! She'll be delighted. You're an angel! :o) xx, mel
P.S. I've GOT to do that metal challenge...
Really pretty!
Really?! I like it! And it's NOT a pity comment! Great colours and I like the flowers stamped on the corners!
you need spects! Thats a gorgeous card annapurna!
I like the card! Like the metal look very nice! Don't be so hard on yourself, it looks good.
Anna, I think this turned out wonderfully. I love all the bling.
I still haven't tried this yet. I was thinking to doing it for Deb's challenge, too.
I think it looks great and good for you for always being so very creative! Love the bling in the corners.
I think it's great myself. Love the metal.
HA!! I just did a card too that I spent about 40 minutes on and I just thought it was horrible. But I posted it anyway.. Sometimes we do cards that just don't turn our crank. Oh well. live and learn.
Hope you have a great day Anna!!
No worries Anna :) I'm just collecting all your ideas in the meantime ;).
Contrary to what you think, I really like your card!
You know what Anna? me and my eight year old love this wee card - we thought it was rather cutting edge - we even got some foil to try it out.
I really love what you did! I think you are being way too hard on yourself! You've got the fun flourish, the great bling, and my favorite color... RED! What more could you want!?!?! Thanks so much for playing!
how can you not be happy with this card?? It's beautiful and I'm not just saying that I really like it!
Why not perfect? Very beautiful! I like the colors and the layout! I like your card!!!
YOu are too hard on yourself, the metal is really cool with the musical notes and what a way to think outside the ink!
