It seems like a while since I made this card for Nov CAS mix-up challenge, but it can't be that long as the challenge still has 10 days to run. Anyway I am not that happy with it and thought I might make another but time has got the better of me and I know I won't get round to that so I thought I should stop being so self critical and post it anyway.
The theme is oxidised metal so I watched all the videos linked on the blog and came up with this:
I am not sure that my metallic effect is particularly effective, but never mind. I also hope that the embossing on the white panel doesn't stop it from being CAS. Please feel free to disregard my entry if it does.
It has been very dark here recently with the shorter days and lots of grey rainy skies so I am afraid my photos have suffered from the lack of light.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

I think this is so cool looking. I haven't tried the technique yet but it is on my list. I'm glad you posted it.
I'm so glad you decided to share this with us, Hilary! It's an amazing oxidized metal panel and I love how you matched the embossing to flow into the white card! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
Such rich colours on the panel which really stand out against the white.

This is stunning, I love the deep rich tones of your oxidised metal panel and the embossing. It's beautiful, Hilary.

I love this, Hilary. We both had the same idea and posted at the same time. Great minds! I love how you embossed the whole panel, then matched it up. Very pretty.
THIS IS GORGEOUS, Hilary!! You are too hard on yourself. Your oxidized metal is so beautiful. What a great idea to start with red card. Love the metallic embossing overtop. Gorgeous design with the dry embossed paisley! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
The technique is fabulous Hilary and has a real wow effect. Love the texture of the embossing folder and how you lined it up. A real stunner of a card x.
I think it's completely effective, Hilary! It shows up brilliantly on my monitor and I love the overall design!! Hugs, Darnell
Love your bold choice of colours and how the Paisley embossing folder matches your Oxidized Metal and the white mat. Thanks for joining us this month at CAS Mix Up.
