Pile It On #32 - Add Some Metal

This week at Pile It On we're challenging you to add some metal.  If you visit here regularly you know that I love to add charms (metal) to my cards.  This card is an exception, not that I don't have sewing themed charms but I also have sewing themed die cuts which I wanted to use for this layout.  Can you tell that they are a thimble, ruler and scissors?  I'm not sure if it's my computer or my photo but they don't show up very well on my screen.  So for the metal on this card I've added brass brads.  You can add whatever kind of metal you've got to your card.  The other important thing to do is to enter it into at least one other challenge.  That's pretty simple especially since there's always an "Anything Goes" challenge going on somewhere.

This week we're sponsored by Stitchy Bear.  My image is the digital  "Stitched with Love" which you can find in the "Valentine" section of the store.  I love the vintage look but if you haven't visited Stitchy Bear don't think that's all they do,  There are millions of great images to choose from.  OK, I exaggerated a little, but just a little, there are so many fabulous images to choose from that it feels like millions.   Have you stopped at the Pile It On challenge yet?  Well get on over there to see what the rest of the design team has created, leave them some love too.  we all love to read your comments.

ink - hp printer ; Ranger "Tea Dye" on edges
paper - Crafty Secrets "Heartwarming vintage Collection" dsp; Wausau Paper "Gray" and "Dans" Textures cs; My Favorite Things "Pink Lemonade" cs
