August 27 - Metal

So, pirates use metal swords, right? So for this challenge you must use some metal on your layout. On my page, the title is metal and then I took some aluminum foil, wrapped it around some cardstock and embossed it for the waves and seagrass panels.

As always, a new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery. Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

Okay, I took the picture, made it black and white, reversed it, and printed it on a transparency sheet, then mounted it on aluminum foil to give it the look of a old-fashioned tintype. The corner brads are also metal. Sorry about the scan, it just doesn't do it justice.
