Metal Tape Cards


Here are a couple of cards I have finished off today.
They were made using metal duct tape that I dry embossed.
The flowers are from Michaels and the decorative stripe
are from A. C. Moore's bargain bin (a real great deal).
I used 2 strips side by side for each card. The seams
are not too visible after I applied the acrylic paints.

I'm staying in today. I had a bad start to the day because I failed
to listen to the news before leaving for church. Last night the
forecast sounded fine and we would be up in the 40s by noon.
So I traipsed out to the SUV and took off down Rte 711 before
really warming up the vehicle. I did notice it was drizzling, but
I thought it was rain. After a mile, the windshield quickly became
a sheet of opaque ice. I almost panicked because I could literally
not see out the front. By going about 5 mph or less and peeking under 
the windshield wiper blades I was able to make it to the only place
within 4 miles where I could turn around. Very scary. I learned
a valuable lesson… warm up the car before leaving the driveway.
