Mixed Media Card Challenge, September Challenge Autumn Colours with Metal or Leaves is sponsored by Add A Little Dazzle, who generously supplied us with some amazing metal sheets to play with - and I'm in LOVE! If you happen to be stumped for inspiration, there are some fabulous videos over at Add A Little Dazzle.
The leaves were coloured using a variety of Liquid Pearl colours. A cardstock sheet was cut to the size of the embossed panel and the edges of the metal sheet wrapped around it. The vellum die-cut flag had this gorgeous Walter and Winnie sentiment heat embossed in Copper. Lastly the vellum flag was wrapped around the front panel and secured with a couple of spots of Dimensional Magic, and the panel adhered to the card front.
I hope you take the opportunity to have a play with Mixed Media, I'd LOVE to see your creations! In case you're wondering what qualifies as a Mixed Media Card, I have posted details here, and they can be found on The Mixed Media Card Challenge blog.
