GC39: Color Challenge - Metallics

We are going to test your metal with this one! Round up all your gold, silver, platinum, bronze, and copper papers, inks, paints, embellishments, hardware and pearl-ex powders so you can start playing!

Our newest color challenge is

M E T A L L I C S!

By the way, I just love the definition of metallic - of or suggesting metal, as in luster, resonance, or hardness.

  9. I finally got my card done. My scanner would not pick up the metallic hearts very well, but if you look at the edges of them you can see the red reflecting. I think the metallic is so reflective that the scanner just can't pick up the true color. This was a fun challenge that made me dig through my stash! Thanks.

  10. I'm very new here and I'm in no way, shape or form going to try and imagine myself up to the caliber of the fabulous pieces of work I've seen on this site and in this challenge. You ladies are "rockers" and I am such an admirer.
    However, that being said, I humbly offer my entry. I hope you like it, please let me know.
