It's time for another challenge over at
Shopping Our Stash! This week's theme is
Metal Mania - use something metal on your project, or use a Dilly Beans image. Think brads, eyelets, snaps, library clips, or other hardware!
Here is my card:
I doubled up on my hardware. The butterfly eyelets are from a package I bought years ago and have never used. Now I've used 3 of them! As an experiment, I wanted to see if a brad would fit in the opening/center of the butterflies, and they did, so that's 3 brads gone! I like how it makes the colors pop, too.
Here's a close-up of the eyelet + brad:
I based my card on this sketch (now old) from
Clean & Simple:
I only used three images instead of four - I thought it looked better that way.
Now it's YOUR turn! Go into your stash, dig through all your metal embellishments and sheets or whatever, use it on a card, then come back to
Shopping Our Stash and link us up so we can see what you've made!
Thanks for stopping by!

what a great card just flat-out... but then it's ALSO a brilliant use of eyelets and brads (i now want to search my stash for ones that will thusly double up!!!) AND a great version of that cool sketch! AWESOME!!! ♥♥♥
Great idea to combine the eyelets and brads. I remember when eyelets were IT, and I still have lots of them somewhere.
Loved the sketch you followed, but even more so, the genius idea to use a brad inside a brad! Brilliant!
nice post. Now you can use this business in india list to promote metal crafts import & export business.
I really like your take on the sketch to use 3 images instead of 4, and those butterflies and brads really do make those flowers pop! NJ!
