Welcome to March's Bombshell Hump Day Hop! It's been a while since I've had the chance to participate in one of the hops, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use one of my all time favorite materials to work with...METAL!!!
Kas is our new blog hop captain, and this month she challenged us to make something on metal, with metal, around metal, or about "metal"; I'm sure you get the point. I took the challenge literally, and since I love working with soda cans, I decided to cut one up and use a sheet of it as the base of my design.

I used the butterfly images from "Butterfly Queen" and stamped them with Stazon, then colored with Bic markers. Then from the back I rubbed "bubbles" into the metal using the marker tip.
The glitter images on my card base come from the "Pinstriping" set. I colored them with Bics as well, and then covered with irridescent glitter. Although the lighting of my picture is not fabulous, I hope you can see it well enough and enjoy the card.

ReplyDeleteUpcycling a soda can...! I love it! Your project is magnificent and very inspiring ;D
ReplyDeleteOh cool!! I love how you used the metal can & coloured right on to it!
ReplyDeleteoooo...pretty shiny things....boy does this card make me happy
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on the 'pinstripy' stamps because they are swirly and versatile, thanks for glittering them up.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright colors on the foil.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deb ... although we've already proven that her & I think alike :)
ReplyDeleteAt first glance it does look like expensive silk. You did a great job coloring the images! And what a great idea using a pop can! I'd be interested in a tutorial too. I have plenty of empty pop cans laying about :)
Wow. Totally fabulous. I love the softness of the butterfy images against the metallic texture and shine of the can. You used the swashes from the Pinstriping set really well.
ReplyDeletethis is a WOW factor wtg thanks for the opportunity

I love your project using metal....It is so Unique..You always dare to be different Terra!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the effect you created with rubbing the bubbles into the metal. The whole card looks really art deco or even asian. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique and beautiful I am speechless. Looks very moroccan to me, so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Terra!!
ReplyDeleteLovin' it!! Crafty Mom of 2 has a point, I would love a tutorial for using soda cans... in particular, how to keep the metal from curling!!! Mine tend to like to stay vaguely in the shape of a can.
