Altered metals...

Hello everyone! It is Wednesday and time for another challenge at the Frilly and Funkie challenge blog. Linda is our host and has a theme of "Altered Metals" for us. Here is the complete details she has given us for the challenge...

Challenge Theme:  Altered Metals - I love using metals in my card making and mixed media.  For this challenge use metals, but you must alter them somehow.  You can use alcohol inks, acrylic paint, embossing powder or any other medium you choose.  You can even dabble in rusting the metals yourself.  Have some fun and let's see your altered metals!


Sounds like fun... right? I know you have seen these pretty little rusty hearts (you can find them in Linda's Zibbet Shop and you can click on the links below) featured here before but, they are my favorite metals, had to use them again. 

I punched tiny holes in the metal and threaded them with vintage cording then added some acrylic paint to them... a very light coating.

I really like the way they turned out, simple but just enough alteration for me. There are so many different types of metal you can play around with. I can't wait to see what you come up with so, I will be looking for your "Altered Metals" creation at the Frilly and Funkie! Make sure you check out the fabulous prize Linda has waiting for the winners of this challenge and don't forget to check out the blog again next week to see what the Funkie Designers have in store for you.

Have a great rest of the week!
