House of Cards Metallics Challenge...
August 01, 2015
Hello all! Welcome to August 1st! It is time for a new challenge at the House of Cards! Today’s challenge is a word cue challenge – and that word? Metallics!
This one stumped me for a while because I really wasn’t sure what I could use. I tried making a card with a metallic finish and it looked awful! Finally it dawned on me to use some of these sweet Simon Says Stamp card kit papers that have gold on them!
So I opted to make a wedding card. I started off with SU! smokey slate cardstock and cut a sliver off the side so I could add the gold polka dotted paper. Then I used some of the pretty flower paper and my pierced square die to cut a square so that I could showcase the two gold foil sketchy heart die cuts. I heat embossed my sentiment in gold and then popped this card front onto another piece of smokey slate.
It’s your turn to give this a try – any type of metallic will do and I bet you are itching to give this challenge a try! You can link up your creation HERE!
Thanks for stopping by today! I am off tomorrow and will be back on Monday!
Supplies: CS: SU! smokey slate and gold foil. SSS May card kit papers. Stamps: SSS congratulations. Dies: MFT pierced square dies. SSS sketchy heart die. Other: SU! gold embossing powder.

Jane, this is SO pretty!! I LOVE the soft colors with the gold! The hearts are amazing--a gorgeous wedding card! HUGS! :) Mynn xx
