THE E TEAM
THERE IS NO PLAN B!


LET'S RIDE!!
***********
Hey Peoples!! I'm super psyched to be a member of the E Team!! When Daisy called me this past holiday weekend to ask me to join in this new adventure, there was NO WAY that I could say no!!

Now, being that I jumped onto this ride a tad late, I don't have a new project to share with you. But I did want to share a previous project that I had done using a new artistic medium that I have been exploring recently. METAL. For those of you who have been here before, remember this frame that I altered?




And more specifically this?


This rose embellishment was made from TenSeconds Studio metal that is colored aluminum on one side and silver on the back side. Using alcohol inks I colored the plain aluminum side. I then used T!m Holtz's Tattered Floral die and after debossing the front of the metal with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, I followed this tutorial to put together my rose. The leaves were hand drawn on some scrap plain aluminum metal and again colored using alcohol inks. If you would like a more detailed outline on how I made this, please refer back to the original post which can be found HERE.

I have really been enjoying learning how to use metal in different ways on my cards and other projects these past few months. You can expect to see more projects (with planned step by step instructions) in the near future!!

Thanks for joining the E Team today!! I hope you'll get back in line for another go on the ride as this is gonna be ROCKIN' FUN!!

Till then.........

Like I said, I'm glad you are on the west coast, when everyone else is in bed, at least you and I can work together on our blog posts... but wait, I'm not that good at computer stuff, so I will just depend on you ;) Hugs Linda Duke
