Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying Easter in your part of the world.
I''m enjoying a quiet spell in the craft room after baking, visiting my parents, and getting some much needed housework done!
I wanted to play along with the challenge at CASe This Sketch.
I really struggle with sketch challenges, but this one is similar to a design I use a lot.
I spread some grit paste onto watercolour paper through a stripes stencil.
When it was dry I sprinkled on some rusty car infusion powder and spritzed with water.
Next I added some Brushos SprinkleIt in copper (it's a powder that works well with brushos so thought it would be ok with infusions too), and spritzed with water again.
The diecut sentiment and gears were inked with versamark, sprinkled with Lindys midnight copper, midnight bronze and cafe au lait embossing powders.
I've layered the happy and some of the gears up 3 times for extra dimension.
Here's a closer look at the shimmer!
I'm also linking up to the fun & games challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.
Lots of guys love tinkering, so I figure gears would be fun on a card for them!
At Watercooler Wednesday it's an anything goes masculine theme.
It's an anything goes theme at Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies.
This card used a stencil, dies and a sticker, no stamps at all!
I'm also linking up to the CAS Stencil Card Challenge where the theme is to use texture or embossing paste, so much fun!
Supplies:
Tim Holtz stripes stencil; Ranger distress grit paste; Paper Artsy Rusty Car Infusions; Brushos SprinkleIt in copper; Memory Box Antique ger set & Mini Gears dies; Poppystamps jumbled birthday die; versamark ink; Lindys midnight copper, midnight bronze and cafe au lait embossing powder; sentiment sticker; glossy accents to glue everything to the grit paste!
Thankyou for visiting,
Cathy x
