SO.........I went right to my pantry, grabbed the aluminum foil...and it went downhill from there! I cb'd a two layer in Diamonds in the Rough, and then couldn't separate them. I messed up the writing in RED. and had to cut it off. I ran out of Basic Gray, and had to piece it. As I was putting down the writing I redid in RED, my hand slipped, and it got stuck in the wrong place. I couldn't move it. Then I had to put something in the corner to balance it off, and I think it's totally too girly for the tool. If I had done the tool in PINK, it would have been girly enough! RATS! Hope my day gets better!!!
Thanks for looking. I love your comments here and on My Blog !

Hope your day does get better!!
It doesn't look girly to me - red is a good strong colour. And the little curly bit - it could just be some nice fretwork done with a jigsaw which wouldn't fit on the card.
My problem was NOT getting red on my card, because I cut my finger out gardening, and using the Wizard kept setting it off bleeding again...
I think a lot of us are going to have little *problems* today.

I love it and that CB folder with the foil really looks like the industrial diamond metal storage things...ugh, my mind is slipping and I can not think of what it is called. Anyway, great idea and I think the card is wonderful. I now have to get this folder.
