I have to say that I am the kind of girl who is open to trying anything when it comes to crafting. I just love to make stuff. So when my very talented friend Carmi Cimicata asked me to take part in the "Metal Complex blog hop featuring a metal cuff and fish leather" I said SURE!!! Had no clue what to expect and was seriously concerned when I opened the box...but in the end I LOVED it! That's what it's all about folks. The joy of creating.
Here is what I had to start with...
Fish Leather
and a brass cuff.
These items came from John Bead. Very cool stuff!!!
Here is what I came up with....
I used a little printed tissue from 7 Gypsies, Decoupage from DecoArt, some baubles and a little Inka Gold from Viva Decor.
Love how it turned out!!!!
Make sure to check out Carmi's blog HERE for the other great creations on Wednesday morning at 9am. I can't wait to see what everyone came up with!!!!
I mentioned a little something SCT was cooking up yesterday and here are the details...
This is the new seasonal kit that will bring Crop & Create right to your doorstep!! It is a limited quantity kit that will go on sale on Friday March 1st at 9pm EST. This one is filled with great product, exclusive sketches, stamps and videos, too! Very exciting. If you love kits, check this one out HERE and tell them I sent you!!!
That bracelet is amazing! When you showed the fish leather and the cuff, my mind was blank. Seriously had no idea what I would do with them. Really love how creative you are!

Oh my good gravy, but this is SO very lovely, Vicki! Makes me want to step out of my comfort zone and give jewelry-making a try!!

Well I was rather speechless when I saw the fish leather and had to double check I'd come to the right blog. :) Gorgeous bracelet Vicki, you have done a fabulous job with it.
