Perfect Sentiments: "Metal Embellished Birthday"

Here is this week's Perfect Sentiments challenge:

 

"Metal Embellished Birthday"

The challenge: create a card with a birthday sentiment

The twist: use some metal on your card

 

Here is what I came up with for this challenge:

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made using black cardstock.  I cut some silver cardstock at 5 1/4"x4" and another piece of black cardstock at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  My final layer is a piece of craft metal that I cut at 5"x3 3/4" and embossed with the Cuttlebug and the Chicken Wire embossing folder.  I cut a strip of green cardstock at 5"x1 1/4" and then punched it with a grass border punch.  I stamped the sentiment on it, then adhered it to the card.  I used Beep Beep to cut the tractor at 2 1/2."  I finished off the card with two brads in the center of the wheels.  All that turns into the perfect card for a little boy's birthday.

Now it is your turn to link up your card creation.  Head on over to The Perfect Sentiment and link up your card.  I can't wait to see what you create!
