Time for Dad by Julie Lavalette.

3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello there blogging friends, it's Julie here today.
The challenge this week is Make it Manly and with Father’s Day fast approaching here in the UK, I thought it would be nice to share a masculine card with you.

 

I cut out the Steampunk Clock in black cardstock and also in gold mirri card. I then paper pieced elements together to make the workings of the clock stand out. I rubbed over my mirri card with a little Archival Ink to give it an aged appearance. The clock die comes with a background circle die too, which is a great idea as it really sets your clock off and makes it ‘pop’ on the page. I cut my background out with kraft paper and added a little crackles and distress. 


The new Steampunk Corners are a fabulous accent to a card or scrapbook page. I cut mine out in black cardstock and rubbed a little gilding wax over to give a metallic look and complimented them with the gears die on my card which were also cut out in mirri card.

 Thanks for popping by, enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you all next Saturday.

Happy Card with Corina Finley

3:30 AM 2 Comments
 
Corina here with the Friday blog post. Thank you for joining me!
 
I created my flowers using the background patterned paper as a colour palette. This weeks card has a Fall Vintage feel! I love the brightness of the orange and the depth of the brown tones.
 

Here is a close-up of the floral arrangement. I used buttons, ribbon, seam binding, pearls and my homemade shimmer spray to enhance my flowers. Don't be afraid to cut up your die cuts and use portions of them. I used a piece of the Chasing Rainbows Doily on the top right of the floral arrangement.

Take care,

Corina Finley

Friendship Journey Tag

3:00 AM 3 Comments
Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a Steampunk Friendship tag. This has one of my favorite quotes : "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."~Anonymous. I've used the Queen Anne's Lace border along with several steampunk dies and the gear emboss plate..


I began by embossing a tag with the Gears Embossing Plate. I rubbed brown chalk ink over the surface of the tag enhancing the gear pattern. Next die cuts of the Gear Mesh Border and the Queen Anne's Lace Border were layered on the background. French Flair was die cut around the stamped quote and the matching scallop was adhered to the back. The pocket watch and a corner were adhered to the back of the matted quote and then added to the tag with some foam tape for dimension. Finally gears and a clock hand were added to the tag. The word Journey was cut in red and added to the upper embossed part of the tag.
