This Thursday - Challenge 21 Marvelous Metallics and Theme Thursday

This weeks challenge was metal,as always great DT and prize... on an earlier challenge we were encoraged to take inspiration from blogs and I took tine to look at the talented Rosie's blog - check it out here , in particular her metal art. I had also seen on the Tanda forum a link to The Scrapbook Lounge anither great site in particular this link. So I prepared the can and tried various mediums/ punches / embossing tools and initially created a pretty frame which I can use in a future project...
FRAME


However the waste from the frame is a smidge smaller than an ATC so I decided to decorate it and use it as an ATC! This fits with this weeks Theme thursday challenge too..

These are stunning! Great job. thanks for asking about H.hunting. Things are moving slowly with the survey picking up a few problems. Should know for sure in the next couple of weeks what is going on.
