I had a lot of fun experimenting with the craft metal sheets.  Here's a little card I created with the adorable Owl Be There stamp set and a copper craft metal sheet:

Creative Nugget:  The tree trunk on this card was created by embossing the copper craft metal sheet with some wood grain and brayering over it with black acrylic paint.  Most of the paint was rubbed off leaving some in the crevices.  I love the woodsy look of this panel!  The tree branch from the Love Birds Die Set was also cut from the craft metal sheet.  The leaves were colored with Copic Markers.  My owl was colored with Copic Markers except for the belly which was paper pieced, fussy cut, and popped onto the branch.  The sentiment was attached to a copper die cut tag and hung from the branch with copper twine.  

Next I tried a more elegant look.

Creative Nugget:  This time a black craft metal sheet was embossed with the CB Poppy folder.  A sanding block was used to remove some of the black allowing the silver to shine through. The same was done with the border on the left side of the card. The poppy from the Flower Blocks 3 stamp set was colored with Copic Markers and cut with a Classic Square Nestie.  The Perfect Layering Tool was used to make the white and red mats, and the card front was mounted to a Solar Crest card base.  The sentiment from the God is Bigger stamp set was stamped on a Mini Tag Die and attached with a bow to finish the card.

Whether you want a cute card or an elegant one, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets are a fabulous combination!

I hope you've been inspired by your visit today…enjoy the hop!
