Sophia heavy metal

-
I'm really happy tonight.  I found something else to inspire me.  Heavy metal ;)  I found a few challenges that required metal use. That's much different from my other cards that were all about spring, easter...  

I went all out with little Sophia from Kraftin Kimmie.  I paper pieced the dress so that I could use glitter paper for her.  I used some metal brads to hold the sentiment and some metallic corners at the top.  I also used paper with metallic accents so that it would really be "heavy metal" lol


I used this sketch to make it:


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. Crazy 4 challenges - Sketch
  2. Tsg clear stamps - metal embellishments
  3. Kraftin kimmie stamps - Heavy metal
  4. Catered crop - use brads
  5. Paper take weekly - Anything goes
That's it!  I just looove looking at all those blogs with the amazing challenges.  The DT do such a tremendous job on the card that it is quite an inspiration.  I hope that one day my cards will be up to that standard.  In the meantime I just love reading your comments.
