Heavy Metal

Good Afternoon!  What a great day, just drove North for two hours to pick up my beautiful Mom to share this lovely Thanksgiving week.  I am so happy, so grateful, so lucky!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all, may you be surrounded by love and turkey!  :)

Creative Corner has a Heavy Metal Challenge this week.  Add something metallic to your project.  I added a couple of things to mine.


 
My metallic items are the 2 silver jingle bells and the wire star I wrapped on top of my tree.  Just took some ordinary wire and using my Thing A Ma Jig (a wire wrapping pegboard) I created the star quite easily.  The Christmas Tree was created by cutting out 3 triangles, gluing together and then coating them in chunky white glitter.  I also sprayed with the Krylon Workable Fixatif to prevent the glitter from shaking off.  Works like a charm!  Designer papers by My Mind's Eye, Hattie Papers and Lost & Found.  Stamp sets by Gina K Designs, Wishing You Joy and Merry Little Christmas.  A little ribbon, and a little twine.  
 
I really love the whole flavor of this card.  Rock On!  (get it?) 
 
Happy Thanksgiving, travel safely and be well!

  1. I like Sharyn tree, but you did it without a die. Spectacular! I like the compliment of the blue in the background and the medal details make it another great composition, for you.

  5. What an awesome idea to do the wire star on top of that wonderful little sparkly tree!! Man I love how that thing-a-ma-jig works. Now I want one of those.....thanks a LOT!! Haha...I have seen them before but never really thought about it. You are so clever my dear. Super cute and very festive card. And again with the layering, your trademark.
