Another month another new monthly challenge at House of Cards, this time the theme is Metallics.
I used embossing folder woodgrain and the dotted lattice. The Frame Polaroid is a DIES from Paper Smooches. The Man Tools is DIES from Memory Box.
Here is the stamp I used for my sentiment. The Man´s tools was made from silver paper and red paper (I glued the red area on the top of the silver area). Last step I stamped the screws on the grey paper. (also no Design Paper on this card :))

Isn't it fun to play with dies and embossing folders? Those tool dies I'm sure you're going to use lots as you love making male cards. And great idea to combine stamping AND embossing to make the background. It's a cool card!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Monika! Love the the tools on your manly "Dad" card and the pretty blooms are perfectly colored on your Birthday card for your friend :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous metallic card for HOC Monika, clever making of tools and that background is fabulous. Like your Happy Birthday card too, those colors are so vivid it looks like stained glass. Have a wonderful weekend! Donna T. HOC teamie

Hi Monika! Great cards! Love them both! So glad you shared your floral card with us at Chocolate, Coffee& Cards!
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards, and what a brilliant take on the HOC Metallics Challenge - such a clever idea! I've been on holiday so am back and catching up with cardland. Thanks for your lovely comments. The 'Smile' die was a gift from a Card Chain Challenge friend so it isn't one I own. I think its from Simon Says Stamp... So sadly not one I think I'll ever buy. Now I'm back from my holiday I'll be sending a little package to Germany for my sweet friend, Monika! Hugs to you, Jo x
