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 am just in awe - this is amazing! Love it! Thanks for the great challenge.
Great masculine card. I love the metallic and that is a great embossing folder.
Those links gave a very cool effect on the metallic paper
So glad that you told us how you did this card. Now I can pick my jaw up off the floor and sg and try it. Thanks!
Hi Cathy. This card is so cool. Love the metallic look you've created using AIs. Fabulous masculine card. Need to give this a try as I have not tried colours like these before. Very inspiring!! xx
Incredible and so cool! Awesome job!
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
Gorgeous works Cathy - love it - the background could be used behind silhouettes too of trees etc - Mxxx
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.
Cathy, thank you for this challenge, it was fun! Your card is amazing. I love the colors you used. I am going to have to try using AI on metallic cardstock!
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!
This looks fabulous! The alcohol ink colours work perfectly with that embossing folder! Thanks for a great challenge theme!
What a cool technique and the effect is brilliant, love it xx
