Metal Mania at the 4 Crafty Chicks

Hello everyone!  How's your August going?  I cannot believe the summer is almost over and it's time for the kids to go back to school.  I've really enjoyed the time I've spent with my kids this summer...it was a tough one for them with the move and all but they came through with flying colors.  :) 

So... are you ready for another 4 Crafty Chicks challenge?  This week's hostess-with-the-mostest is Tamie and she is challenging us to use metal somewhere on our card.  Remember - that could be anything with a metallic look to it - paper, embossing, brads, staples... the possibilities are endless.  :)  For my card, I used some black brads and some silver metallic cord. 

I used Arielle's Colour Q from last week and the Week Two Viva la Verve sketch - I was so BUMMED that I  missed out on all of last month's sketches.  Too much going on... *sigh*

Stamps: Wet Puddle (TCP)  Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, SU! DSP  Ink: Memento Black  Accessories: Nesties (Ovals), Sunflower Rosette die (TCP), paper piercer, button, silver cord, brads, Scalloped Edge border punch (SU!), Perfect Polka dots embossing folder

Thanks for stopping by today - don't forget about the other Chicks... they have made some amazing cards for Tamie's challenge.  AND they are always good for some inspiration.  :)  See you later - enjoy your weekend!
