Hi everyone, it's good to finally be able to make a few cards this weekend.
Such good therapy when you need it!
I'm linking up to the challenge at Scrapbook Boutique where they have this gorgeous inspiration pic.
I was inspired by the circles and the blue, black and silver colours.
At Addicted to Stamps & More the theme is to make your mark. I used rub on metallic paints to colour the gears. There's a lovely shimmer that doesn't show up too well in the photo.
I used scraps of metallic sheet to diecut a few gears for extra dimension, so I'm visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. You only need to use 1 scrap or snippet to play along.
Supplies:
Darice Steam punk embossing folder; Craf-T Products metallic rub on paints; Memory Box gear dies;
Fiskars tag punch; distress inks to colour the tag and the edge of the card; sentiment sticker and brad.
Thanks for visiting,

ReplyDeleteA great take on the challenge at Scrapbook Boutique Cathy - the glistening metallic look, and all those circles/cogs - very imaginative! I love those gears - this makes a perfect masculine card. Thanks so much for joining us this month!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Cathy. I like the finish on the embossing. I would say that this is a perfect male themed card. Elizabeth xx
