Greetings Wise One….

img088 Oh I am loving Zentangles!  The technique is time consuming, but I love the results.  I used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge as a template for the owl, and Martha Stewart’s photo corner embossing punch.  Of course Ten Seconds Studios chocolate brown  metal and Club Scrap’s cardstock from the Henna collection.  I distressed the edges with Club Scrap’s Earth ink.  WHOO, WHOOOOO?!

Fab Cards!

More Ten Seconds Studios metal and Club Scrap cardstock... I used oval Nestabilities to die cut the opening to the Fleur de Lis card and embossed with the Cuttlebug. I stamped the Haberdashery stamp with Staz On ink on the backside of the TSS metal and "puffed" the image. I got this idea from Lin at Paper Artsy. I distressed with black acrylic paint and sanded the image. The angel design is taken from TSS's DVD "A to Z of Metal Works".  Now, I’m off to metalize my world!
