testing my metal

Haven't posted in a while. I took a second class at the Scrapbook Cupboard in E Bridgewater a few weekends ago. This class was to learn more techniques working with metal.
So I had some time yesterday to play around. I made two metal panels that I will be using on journal covers.
I had fun and think they came out really good.


On this panel I used an old key I found while digging in the garden a few years ago. I just did random positioning and then used some blue and purple inks to lightly highlight the sanded areas.


This small panel was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I don't have a Cuttlebug machine so I just used a rolling pin and it worked fine.

I will post photos of the completed journals when they are done.
