FF16Rgrohall Chatter Thread
Challenge Title: Milagros - Folk Art Traditions
Hostess: rgrohall (I'm Rebecca!)
Keyword: FF16rgrohall
Date: Monday, October 17th
***************CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION*******************
On a recent trip to the Land o� Lydia (aka Texas) while shopping, I came across a whole wall of Milagros metalwork for your home (or office). Now you are probably wondering -what is a milagro? Milagro means "miracle" and once upon a time milagros represented wishes and thanks offered in prayers. They are traditional Hispanic folk art.
Your card challenge is to incorporate metal, foil, tin, metallic cardstock or even metallic paint into your project. Choose a traditional �Milagros� symbol of a heart, eyes, hands, crowns, praying figures or other objects with a symbolic meaning. Holidays are a wonderful time for us to give thanks or ask for prayers for family and friends.
Some ideas of ways you can work this into your project:
�Embossing on Metal (this Splitcoast Tutorial shows you the basics: Metal Flower Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers)
�Metallic card stock (pattern created, attached)
�Aluminum foil adhered to cardstock
�Jewelry charms
�Metallic paint
Faux Patina (this Splitcoast tutorial shows you the basics: Faux Patina Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers)
Soda cans (this Splitcoast Tutorial shows you the basics of working with soda cans: Pop Stars Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers)
Foil tape (this Splitcoast tutorial will show you the basics Faux Metal Figures Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers)

A challenge for me, since altho I use the Krylon metallic paint pens quite often, I don't usually incorporate other metals on my cards. Thanks.
LOVE YOU

FF16rgrohall together forever
Love this challenge! I used household foil for my die cut hearts and framing for my wedding card- adding some coloring. Finished with a washi tape/scalloped border and a twine bow. Here's FF16rgrohall together forever

Cool challenge Rebecca! I like the look of the metal Milagros especially when they use two different colors.

Tin trial
I found a whole roll of this thin metal in my in-laws stuff as we were clearing their house and saved it "just in case". Well...here comes a challenge and look what I have to play with! I've never used any metal like this before on a card or in my cuttlebug and was surprised to find how easy it was to cut, emboss, and adhere. Not sure what I was waiting for but glad you pushed me to once again try something new!

I had to go out of my comfort zone for this card but I loved it. I had just purchased some of the nuve embellishment mousse and thought this would be perfect for my card. Thank you for challenging us.
You can see my card here.
