Metallic for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and it was my turn to choose the theme...metallic.
You could use foiling, foil cardstock, gilding flakes, metallic embossing powder, metal sheet or add some metallic embellishments.

You can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too.


My team mates and our party guest have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

I used some silver cardstock, embossed it with this new to me 3D folder, then pounced on some alcohol inks in pitch black, slate and rust.

The diecut sentiment was inked with versamark and embossed with liquid platinum embossing powder.
I layered it up onto some black for a bit of shadow to help it stand out.


Supplies:
Memory Box tools 3D embossing folder; silver metallic cardstock; alcohol inks; Creative Expressions sentiment die; versamark ink and Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

    I just adore the look of the AIs on the metallic silver cardstock Cathy, and the 3D embossing with the tools looks brilliant..the perfect masculine card. x

    I'm sorry, Cathy, I know the theme was your idea, but I don't think your card is metallic enough. Just kidding!! WoW! It's amazing as a manly design and positively inspiring for the challenge! Hugs, Darnell

    Ooh, this is fabulous, Cathy! That’s a great 3D folder anyway, but you’ve made a standout background with it using alcohol inks. Love the embossed die cut sentiment too.

    Fabulous masculine card. Love the embossing folder you used and how you added the alcohol inks over the embossed foil panel. Very creative.

    That's a nice and shiny way to bring in metallics. Looks fabulous with the alcohol inks - I love how those little colors have blended together to make more colors and patches of texture. Really fabulous!
