Metal Messages - CRDU

Hi all,
How are you today? 
I am in a swap group called Craft Room Down Under - CRDU.

I joined in this months extra card swap called Metal and Messages.  This swap is a card that has some kind of metal on the card and needs to have some kind of message as well.. It cannot be a birthday card and the card needs to be written in it to the recipient..  

I created this card... 
Happiness Heals Everything...


I love the poinsettia flower and thought why do we only use it for Christmas.. 
SO I die cut the flowers out of a pepsi max can.. 


I love this folder Foundry 3D Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz and decided straight away this was the one I was going to use for this card.. I folded aluminium twice over a piece of card and adhered it down at the back.. I then run it through the embossing folder as shown, Looks brilliant as is.. 


I covered the flowers and the above card front in black gesso.


I covered the front of the card front with assorted Inka Golds. I created the little butterfly from a mold and clay.


I loved these words that are in Big Talk sentiments by TIm Holtz and thought how true this is.. 


I used Alchemy Wax on the flowers and a aqua brad in the middle..


I reckon the card looked brilliant together.. 
Metal is the foil and the flower and the message is 
'Happiness Heals Everything'..
I do hope Debbie likes it..


I hope I have inspired you 
to create glorious things
Hugs
