2022 card challenge - September

Afternoon all!

Sorry for the late post for this month's challenge, I've been at my desk since 7 this morning, but been busy with work stuff and only managed to log on now.

The focus colour for this month is: Metallic tones

Lots of flexibility there for using foiled papers, heat embossing, metallic die-cuts, and doing your own foiling with a foiling system - or you could use metallic media like metallic paint, rubbing wax, mousse, mists, mica... Lots of options and lots of metallic colour tones to choose from.

So without further ado, here is this month's pin-spiration....

Well, if I don't manage another card for this prompt, this one will do.

It features autumnal florals, a tied string, and a splattering of copper metallic paint:

Well, this is perfect for me, as it just so happens I finished this card yesterday for a 60th birthday. There's silver heat embossing and shapes cut from foiled card, not to mention the foam numbers which have silver on them.

Wow, what a great card Margo, and full of detail! I bet the recipient will love it. :D

There you go again Nat, such a clean, fresh and pretty card, just lovely.

Clever you Margo, that looks so complicated but I love the die cut elements and the colours go so well together. Love that pop of white too.

Here’s my metallic one

That's lovely Elllie. xx

Thank you Susie. It's a design I bought, and it's much easier to put together than it looks. Especially as I've used it a few times now.
