Shiny, shiny

Hello lovely crafters!

Welcome to a new challenge at Shopping our Stash

Full METAL Jacket - and we would like you to use something metal or metallic (brads, charms, embossing powder. foil, paper...)

I rootled through my little box of tricks and found some metal stars. I'd cut these a while ago from a piece of a drinks can. All you need to do is rinse the can and cut it open with scissors, the metal is very thin. You can use the printed side for extra interest if you want to. 

WARNING - please be careful with the sharp edges. 

I made the background by inking in pink and then stencilling over in the same pink. I then decided to add some Perfect Pearls. Cue me and everything around me being covered in shimmery dust. 

However it gave a lovely effect which I immediately repeated on 2 other cards. I hope you can see it on the photo. 

I hung the stars with metallic thread, added the frame and then the foliage (from stash). I also found the tiny star in my box of tricks and then mislaid it. Cue me spending 10 minutes looking for it and then finding it stuck to my stamping tool. It's a coloured punched star covered in glossy accents. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

I'm also popping in to the Snippet's Playground where I've been missing all kinds of fun. (Some of it was probably dangerous...) The sun is always shining and there are always prizes!

The frame here was made from snippets and also the pink circle as I inked it blue on the card base, didn't like it so then stuck pink over it. Thank heaven for snippets. 😄
