Metal Mania at Sugar Creek

Good Morning!

This week at Sugar Creek Hollow in addition to our normal vintage/shabby chic style we are adding the theme of metal. We want you to add metal in some form to your creation.  

The lovely papers are from the blog Free Vintage Digital Stamps and can be found here .

I added the metal charm and letters which I colored to a copper finish with alcohol inks from Ranger. The twill with copper snaps and a bit of twine.

This was Rick's Valentine's Day card.

I hope you can join us this week, my team mates have created some beautiful cards to inspire you this week, please stop by at Sugar Creek Hollow to take a look.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet Romance

I am so excited to show you my card today, our challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow  

smacks of romance!  We want to see vintage/shabby chic cards with a romantic

flair-can be a valentine if you so desire.

Please be sure to read the rules as we have made a few changes!

I had a ball designing this card using several freebies from the creative and talented 

ladies out in blogland.

The beautiful perfume tag and the heart can be found at JanetK.Design Free Digital Vintage by clicking here.

You will find the lovely rose tag, geranium with a frame, solo geraniums and newsprint tags 

at Lilac and Lavender, one of my favorite sites for vintage images.

And last but not least I would like to point out the swirl frame which I got as a free file

from the wonderful Bird at Bird's Cards where you find free cut files and all kinds of digital goodness. Oh my, while stopping by to link up...there are new frame cut files...need to go back! 

Oh, I forgot, I placed the swirl frame over a gorgeous piece of free patterned music paper that 

I found at Free Vintage Digital Stamps .  

Please check out these wonderful sites...

Here are some close up pictures of my card.

I used another of Bird's frames cut with the Cameo for the inside:

I hope you like the way it turned out as well as I do, and will stop by at Sugar Creek Hollow

to see what the rest of the team has to share.

We would love to see you play along with us this week.

Thanks to all of you that are so generous with your talents

and share with the rest of us.
