My challenge is a shiny "anything goes" opportunity. You can make a card, tag or other paper crafted item as long as it contains a metal element such as metallic paper, a metal charm or tag, foil duct tape, or even aluminum foil.. (And, if the creation also contains a heart, you'll get two entries for the prize!)

My first sample includes the silver lining from a coffee bag to make a card which also includes a heart.(See... easy peasy!)
The second includes corrugated gold paper from my stash (I think it came from inside an expensive box of chocolates. But… it is hard to tell since the evidence- i.e. chocolate- is missing!)





You have until midnight on Tuesday, 2/23 to complete your card. On 2/24 random.rich will pick a winner from a beautiful Valentines mug!

2. Terrie (+ hearts)

I wondered if anyone would notice that I recycled. (I didn't even mention it... so am glad that you did! Ha!)

Ooh, I like shiny things, this will be fun. Your examples are great, Kathy. I don't fell like I need a tutorial but I sure do want to look at all the links you have posted. Just great, because I need to spend more time on line LOL! Thanks so much for hosting!

You are the queen of recycling.....just saying
Both cards turned out really nice...great challenge too.

Both your cards are wonderful, but I have to say, the 2nd is a stunner. If it includes the scent of chocolate from the pretty gold paper, the recipient will be doubly blessed.

Simple and Plain but I like the metal look background....
If I used a different color it could be used as a masculine card too...
Thanks Kathy for the challenge...I never think of using something shiny as
my background.....

Terrie, I love the striking simplicity of your card! The shiny background really sets off the sentiment which is popping through the colorful rings. (Love that creative touch.)
Plus, you get two entries for adding the hearts. Thanks for playing along!

Love the challenge Kathy!
