CC3C #29 Eroded Metal

Hope you are having a good evening.  I am here to post my entry into the very talented Linda Ledbetter's latest challenge from the book, A Compendium of Curiosities by the creative Tim Holtz. This  challenge, entitled Eroded Metal, is generously sponsored by the folks over at Inspiration Emporium.  I can't describe the technique, so go grab your own copy of Tim's book, turn to page 44, and play along.

I used the technique as an opportunity to make my husband's Father's Day card...not easy sneaking around the house :)

One view open...one closed


I had to add a crown, because of course my husband is the king of the house...a least I let him think so :)


Loved using the technique and it gave me the chance to play with the new Tim's new Globe Thinlit Die.  I have to run.  It is nearly the bewitching hour.  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by :)

I would also like to enter my card in the following chanllenges:

    Wow - that's a fantastic masculine card - brilliant vintage look. I thought I didn't "need" that globe die, but now I'm wondering...
