So Are You Ready for Some Amazing Inspiration?





I used the stunning Black Diamond Metal Craft Sheet, along with the Gold Glimmer Craft Metal Craft Sheet.  For the background strips I used Graphic 45 Washi Tape, and my anniversary is made using the Tim Holtz Label Letters.



For my second card, I used the beautiful Perfect Peacock Metal Craft Sheet, along with the Brushed Bronze Metal Craft Sheet for my leaves.  For the media background, I used some Graphic 45 Washi Tape, and Tim Holtz Mini Paper Clips.  My metal butterfly is from Marion Smith Junque & Gems Butterflies.






Have fun hopping!
