and one of SCS's Dare to Get Dirty challenges. It closes today so I'm sure it won't matter now if I say that the challenge is called "Got Metal".
I put a piece of aluminum foil tape on a scrap of white cs and ran it through an embossing folder. Then dropped various Christmas colours of alcohol inks on it, trying not to let the red and green mix and turn to muddy brown. When dry, I sanded over the raised portions to get the ink off.
I bordered that panel with red and green shimmery cs, and topped with a Tim Holtz metal Christmas token attached with silver cord. I popped the panel up with foam tape and added it to a matte silver card base.
When I'd finished the card, I realized that I couldn't add it to CAS Mix Up because there is no stamping on it! I contemplated adding a sentiment below the panel but decided I liked the clean look of it without anything else. And I'd probably smudge the stamping on the slippery silver cardbase and totally ruin it!
Here's hoping you'll join us at CAS Mix Up before August 24th. Your card must be clean and simple, include stamping and alcohol inks and one other element or technique from our list. Had I added stamping, my "other" would have been dry embossing.
I'll be posting more of my Dare to Get Dirty challenge cards over the next while so please come back!
