Metal -ATC

When I read that this weeks Just for Fun Challenge had the theme of 'Precious Metal'.  I went on the search for some pieces of metal, that I know are hiding from me somewhere in the craft room. The pieces I found were real scraps, so as I haven't been making many ATC's recently, I had just about enough for the job.
The  edges were all shaped with an Alterations 'on -the- edge' die. The pieces were then embossed, I used sandpaper to distress the red metal. There is a gap, which I painted with Viva Precious metal bronze, and stamped with my favourite rose.  My last piece of red was just big enough for  a die cut flower, with a small photo image in the centre.
Thankyou for taking the time to take a look, I real appreciate you calling.

    It's lovely Yvonne. So satisfying when you can find a use for small left over pieces.

    Great idea to use those tiny pieces and make something so beautiful from it! I have a lot of metal foil as I won sheets of all colours in a blog candy last year! Have a nice Sunday, Valerie

    Great idea for an ATC love the different scraps of metal used. Once more proving that those scraps should never go in the bin. Thank you for sharing with us at Just for Fun, hope we see you again. XOXO Zoe

    Great idea to use up pieces to make an atc - it has worked out so well and anyone would be pleased to swap with this one. Thanks for joining us at JFF - Hugs Neet (sorry I am late) x
