A metallic card...

Hi friends!

How are you all? It's been a week since I posted anything... Didn't do anything much... didn't feel like doing actually...guess I needed a break!

I'm here with a card I made last night... I had die cut the flowers first and then painted them with metallic shades of fabric paint and then gave them a crumpled look using a small forceps... got this idea from Hussena...She used this in a tutorial of hers. I'm so sorry I couldn't locate the exact post... I did search her blog and got side tracked for a while looking at her gorgeous creations!

Here's my card. Didn't at all like the glitter on it...Shouldn't have made that border with glitter. I wanted a subtle look on my card but lost it because of the glitter :(


This is a orange metallic card...

The shades are visible here...

So, do tell me what you feel about my card :)

The shiny metallic paper is a gorgeous backdrop to your flowers and I think the glitter goes perfectly well with the design! Good to see you are crafting with a forceps..I have a self retaining forceps which is my most cherished tool I cant craft without it!!
Here is a tutorial in which I use the forceps:http://cardsandschoolprojects.blogspot.in/2012/04/paper-flower-tutorial-easy-daisy.html

I really like your base card stock.. The glitter is a bit overwhelming but nevertheless... If you could have gone with a even more cleaner look, the CS would have shone along with the flowers... My opinion but still a great card!

Yeah...that's what I felt after I added the glitter... Thanks for the suggestion... :)
