Welcome to another challenge at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog. Our fabulous sponsor (whose images I just love) is Rick St. Dennis and our theme this time is "Heavy Metal" -- use something metal on your card. I chose an image which happened to be the freebie for Rick St. Dennis challenge but "Priscilla Pilgrim" was just what I needed for the "ear of corn " charm I wanted to use. That charm was sent to me by a dear blogging friend, Cely, from "Creating in Carolina." Thanks so much, Cely. It was absolutely perfect for this Thanksgiving card.

Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
The image itself is colored with a combination of ProMarkers and Graph'It pens (which a friend loaned me so I could try them), then die cut with a lacy frame and matted with another plain circle die cut. To add a bit more metal, the image is mounted onto a sheet of embossed, sparkly metallic gift wrap, the good, heavy-duty kind which embosses so well. What a glittery shine it has! I matted that with brown CS and added it to the card after I stippled the front with both brown and gray ink. The gold ribbon, from Really Reasonable Ribbon, had a fine, metallic border on each edge and I added a sheer ribbon to it before making the double bow. The corn charm is tied on with hemp cord.

Oh, that little ear of corn charm is just the cutest thing. I really like that metallic gift wrap (has the look of metal) and cute image. Wonderful card, Connie.
WOWOW, Miss Connie! I dearly love this card! The copper gift wrap is fantastic embossed! And the white die cut holding that sweet little Priscilla mousie is amazing!
