VSN Winter Olympics - Part 3

I hope you aren't getting tired of seeing my VSN Challenge cards yet, I still have several to share with you.

cont'd: Saturday's VSN Challenges

"Going for the Gold, Silver, Bronze" Challenge
With all the talk about winning gold, silver and bronze, sometimes the Olympics just sounds like a metals commodity exchange. The challenge was to create something using a faux metal technique and incorporate it into a card. Because Olympic winners are presented their medals hanging on a ribbon, must use ribbon on your card.
My Card for "Going for the Gold, Silver, Bronze" Challenge












Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Paper: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Pretty in Pink
Access: Big Shot, Embosslit Flower Burst, Silver Brads, Black Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

How to make my Faux Metal: Most faux metal techniques requires embossing powder, I do not have any of the metallic powders, so I used aluminum foil and my Big Shot with the Embosslits Flower Burst die.

"Go For The Gold" Challenge
