Mid-week Recap - Who Made Beautiful Music?

We didn't recap the two projects that were submitted for the theme of "Music," so let's take a look!

Phinny was very crafty and used her project for two themes - excellent and click over to get more details on the card - she was quite thrifty too! Lovely!
Jeanie also played with us last week and made a really cool card with a retro feel (which I love love love) and it incorporated music to a T!
Can't wait to see what gets submitted as we test your "Metal"!

Challenge #19 - Put the Petal to the metal


Let metal inspire you this week.

Use metal.
Use something that looks like metal.
Use something that is metallic.
Use the color of metal.
Use something unique for extra credit.




Jana here. I used a tuna tin. I was wondering around Go Create Something and stumbled upon her tin art. She has a few tins decorated with a mermaid theme. Since my hubby and I are taking our girls to Disney World in a few weeks, I picked Ariel as my mermaid. I have a treasure chest full of gems.



What? Don't you?
Anyway, I decided to decorate the outside of the tin with gems and glitter. I used E6000 to adhere the gems. And then poured the glitter over everything to fill in the gaps. I am going to have glitter in places only my husband will see. I get this stuff everywhere. Then I painted the inside blue and printed out an underwater scene and trimmed it to fit. I still have details to add. You know some shells, Flounder, Sebastian, maybe some sand...

Now show us your metal.
