...Oh ho ho, I am trying to be funny haha today...the title...Metal I Like...with an A .. means ... Metallica LOL *just me again then????* I have got inky and painty and messy with some Ten Seconds Studio metals, Ferro and Terra along with some Precious Metal paints and some Idea-ology...adding in a bit of stamping to boot.
The base is a Maya Road book page, Gesso'd to prime it and then the bottom half is covered with some Ten Seconds Studio silver coloured metal, which I used on a Kabuka mold, just picking out random squares...then antiquing with black paint and colouring with Glimmer Mists.
The top half has Ferro on the left hand side, which is silver..then stamped into...and Turquoise Precious Metals to highlight and then a few dabs of Silver Precious Metal on top. I used a Sequin stamp from The Artistic Stamper to get the bobbly look...it is such a versatile stamp to use for texture on backgrounds. The other half of the top half...*or if I was a mathematically minded bod, I would have said quarter!!!* was covered with Terra, which was stamped into with a dotty background and the sequin stamp again...then once this was dried, assisted by the heat gun, I painted it white, then used more Precious Metals to colour this in to match.
I added an Idea-ology frame, again aged with black paint, then silver paint over the top...the sentiment is a new Studio 490 stamp...and I added the large heart, stamped onto silver metal and refined to give it texture, adding Grungeboard swirls behind....and then finishing off with a 3d metal rose, stamped onto Peacock TSS metal, swirled freehand and black paint again and then popped together using silicone glue.
Thanks for looking...has everyone been watching the Ranger legends on QVC? How fab to see Suze, Claudine and Tim on the telly :O)) *and I have to admit, I may have made a little order LOL*

oh, Hels, this is just STUNNING, I think it must be the best thing you've done (hell, everyting you do is the best... if you see what I mean) I love the colours - and that mould is fab, is it a new one?? I really wish I'd taken today off work to watch craft day although I would have probably been even more broke than I am ...will still watch tonight though.

I'm completely AMAZED by this piece! You've mentioned all kinds of products I never even knew existed ... so off to find out more.
This is a fabulous colour Hels. The tag is just gorgeous. Every single element is superb.
I'm laid up with a badly sprained knee and foot (slipped in the snow yesterday) so I had the perfect excuse to watch Tim, Suz and Claudine. I have placed my first order in over 2 years. Just can't resist anything Ranger.
