Well there you have it, a really dumb move! I accidentally deleted ALL the photos off my blog :(<br />
I'll have to put them back but it's going to take time!<br />
Sorry!<br />
In the meantime I guess I'd better put some new ones on!<br />

I cut 2 Tim Holtz tags and embossed the white one in my Big Shot and then covered it with Inca Gold purple. I embossed a small piece of vellum and placed it behind the white frame, then stitched beads to the sides and into the lace. A ribbon on the top and the metal flower and all was done. As always, inspiraton form the blog of Godelieve Tijskens <a href="http://stampingmathilda.blogspot.com/"> (Stamping Mathilda)</a><br />
The metal flower I made according to the tutorial of <a href="http://yoursartfully.blogspot.com/2010/11/flower-powerfinal-day.html">Lin Brown</a><br />

The background was made in the same way I described the faux metal of yesterday. Metal flowers were stamped with Stazon, then I played with them, making them 3D. Glue was added to the edges of the big flower en thin metal foil was applied. A Paper World pen was used to add the green spots.<br />

Background: Cuttlebug folder covered with bronze pigment ink, sprayed with water and then run through theCuttlebug. It makes a lovely faux metal finish on the background.<br />
MS hearts stamped with Versamark and embossed with bronze, coloured in with yellow and orange Tombow markers. The hearts on the card were embossed with bronze as well. I added 2 ribbons from my stash and reinforced the inside of the card: the wet ink mixture makes it stretch!<br />

A bit of ribbon and it's finished. I won't tell you how long it took to decide what I was going to do!<br />
