I chose to create a Thank you card for this challenge.
I used Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil folded in half for my Metal and I chose to dry emboss it using the Diamonds in the Rough Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used Gold and Copper Alcohol Inks to add color to the foil giving it a little more dimension.
I used both the cricut and die cuts for my card. I cut the top note shape using my Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge. I popped it up on some foam tape and heat embossed my sentiment.
I used the Circles #2 sizzix die to create my brown tulle flower.
I just love the colors and the harshness of the metal mixed with the softness of the tulle!
I hope you will give it a try!

I LOVE this card!! I love the aluminium - it looks awesome. I like the overall distressed look. And that flower is very pretty.
This card is absolutely beautiful Regan, I can't believe that is just foil... you would never know it! What a great technique with the inks! And don't even get me started on the gorgeous flower! I just love this card!
Great Card, Regan. I love it. It looks so masculine but feminine, all at the same time. LOL!! If that makes sense. TFS !! Friday
I love this Regan, it's Awesome!
Excellent! I havent used the inks yet, but this makes me want to try it out! :D
Well I already told you that my hub thought this was so wonderful - I know I am going to try that aluminum technique as soon as you aren't looking ! Fantastic job - one of the best cards EVER !!
Pretty card Regan! Love the embossed aluminum foil! So creative!
Awesome job Regan! The tinfoil is such a great idea and I love the touch of tulle and that great trim at the bottom.
Thank you ladies! I had a fun time making it!
