This week's challenge is a theme, of sorts..."Metal." You can use anything metal, metallic or, there is even room for some "creative license" as long as you can tell us how you interpreted this theme. I went very literally on my card and used some metal adhesive brads I have had for awhile but don't use as often as I should:
I made this card for my friend who just had a little baby boy - she moved away in February but came back to town for a baby shower last week. It was so great to see them both...motherhood really suits her. :) I don't normally decorate the inside of my cards, but I did for this one...simple but with enough space for a few of us to write our well-wishes:
I used last week's Mojo Monday and Colour Q - perfect colors for a boy card! Still no Gumball Green so I used Garden Green instead:
