Bah-Humbug Metal Challenge11


The Challenge this week for Bah-Humbug is Metal, ho-hum. Well,I have had this sheet of mental,sorry metal, for years and never used it, but I tell you what, its doubtful if I will ever again. I embossed it through my cuttlebug and that was fine ,but trying to get it to stick to card was a different matter, even after using my glue gun it kept pinging. Maybe I need a lesson in using metals. But I am quite pleased with my finished card as it was something completely alien to me. Hope you like what I've done. Thanks for looking. Hugs Rita xxxx

Also entered into this weeks Winter Wonderland challenge.: Embossing

It's stunning Rita - your metal must be really thick. I used DST and it seemed to stick fine.

YOWZA! Well worth persevering to get it to stick Rita because it looks amazing! I've always managed ok with silicon glue but obviously I must have the cheapy stuff and you have the heavy duty real Mccoy! Maybe fixing it down with brads might've been a little less frustrating for you. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!

Luv'n'Stuff
