House of Cards August Challenge

It's time for another new monthly challenge at House of Cards!  We loved all the beautiful creations from last month and we cannot wait to see what you do with this month's challenge which is....
To create a card with using this word cue~

Here's my card for the challenge.

Crafty Colonel Donna Nuce for House of Cards Blog, Club Scrap Lock and Key Club Stamp Kit, Love Card

Here's a close up of the shine metallic on the card.

Crafty Colonel Donna Nuce for House of Cards Blog, Club Scrap Lock and Key Club Stamp Kit, Love Card

I started with this gorgeous metallic copper ribbon from the Club Scrap Lock and Key kit. (retired but still available as a digital file).  I took a chipboard key and stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it in Copper Metallic EP.  I used a copper paint pen to highlight the design on the DP.  I punched the heart out of copper metallic paper and dry embossed it.  The love sentiment is heat embossed with copper metallic EP also.

The DT cards will be showcased here throughout the month!
Hop on over to the House of Cards and play along with us. We hope you join in the fun--please check out our House Rules HERE before linking up! 

I am also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp blog challenge "Anything Goes."

Happy Crafting!
Donna

    Donna, I love copper and black but hardly ever think to use it. After seeing this gorgeous card you shared here I think I'll take out my copper ep today and do something with it. Thanks for sharing.
