Jacksonbelle New Year's Eve Challenge #2

I'm back! We are having an awful windstorm today and our cat that I just spent $150 on to fix her infected ear, has been gone for 3 days now....maybe she'll get cold or hungry and come home soon.... My daughter is very upset and my husband is even MORE upset because if she doesn't come back then that $150 was a HUGE waste!!! LOL!!!! He is so sweet....LOL!!!! Anyway, here is my card for challenge #2. The second challenge is to make a card or whatever, using Black and White or Vanilla and then accent with metallic or glitter! OK so my card isn't really just accenting, the entire front is metal!!! LOL!!!

The base of my card is Basic Gray with a mat of Whisper White and then Basic Black. I then added a piece of silver metal, which I got AGES ago, which I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Argyle embossing folder. Did you EVER think that you would see a ROCK N ROLL card that used an ARGYLE ANYTHING on it???? LOL!!! I added THESE Imaginisce glitter black brads to the bottom right and top left. The strip under the image piece is just a piece of K&Co's black glitter paper. I added some white Making Memories daisies on top of the glitter paper and then added the same black glitter brads in the centers of the flowers.

The focal image is from THIS Inkadinkado Rockstar set. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink and then cut it out using my square Nestabilities. I then matted it with first Basic Black and the Basic Gray. It was then mounted on the front using dimensionals.

Here is a close up of the metal ~

Hope you all can play and thanks for stopping by!
