Good evening and welcome to the first August challenge for A Blog Named Hero!  I am super excited about the challenge as I LOVE all things metallic!  Here’s my card:

To create this card I started off by stamping the Hero Arts Tea Garden stamp onto watercolor paper with versamark and heat embossing it with superfine white powder.  Then I watercolored the background with distress inks mixed with iridescent medium for a very striking shimmer.  Once that dried completely I used an iron to remove the embossing powder.

Next I stamped my sentiment from Neat and Tangled with versamark and heat-embossed it with silver superfine embossing powder.  I created a shaker using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies and filled it with sequins in shades of blue and metallic silver!

I hope you’ll join in the fun and create something metallic for the challenge!  The challenge runs until August 19th and I look forward to seeing your creations!
