Today, half of the Baker's Dozen and I are showing projects created with these awesome craft metal sheets that come in aluminum and copper (they come in 8 sheets that are 4" x 4" - which is a ton of metal yumminess for an awesome value!) I have to say that I love these craft metal sheets! It is such a fun way to add some texture and uniqueness to your card. They are very thin, which allows you to emboss on them, cut them out and even bend them - all of which makes it very easy to use. You can use them as a place to stamp the main image on or sentiment on, or you can also make it as a background for your card or even bend it to create a little embellishment for your card or scrapbook page. This is also a great product to have for making "man" cards :).
For this first card, I cut out the aluminum metal sheet with my nesties and then embossed it and used it as a background. The ingredients in this card comes from the February Key Ingredients kit (you can click here to learn more about these wonderful kits). I used the sentiment "Your friendship is blessing to me" from the Branching Out stamp set to create this card for a very special person who inspires me every single day - she is such a sweet blessing in my life and I loved making this card because I was making it for her :) I kept the palette black and white with a pop of green and embossed the silver sheet to create a shiny swirly background for the yummy flower:
