Hello my dear friends and welcome to my blog.
Hope you are having a wonderful day!!
A new Challenge has begun at Crafty Cardmakers. Jackie is our host and the Challenge is to use At least 2 Dies/Punches or 1 of each. As always, you may create anything you like as long as it fits the Challenge.
For my DT contribution, I have created a masculine card. I still have a few more of these to make so I'm really pleased I could make one to fit the Theme.
The papers are by Kaisercraft from their Documented Collection.
I used a border punch by EK Success to add a decorative edge the top layer of the papers ..
.. and I used a die by Cheery Lynn for the cogs and gears.
The gears were cut from cardstock and, to make them more sturdy and to give more dimension, I actually cut three sets and then glued the layers together. I coloured them by swiping with a VersaColor stamp pad in Lapis Lazuli and also in Bronze.
The clock was a freebie from the net. I simply printed it and cut it out and then layered it on some chipboard.
I would love it if you would pop on over to take a look at the wonderful creations by my Teamies. I'm sure that will definitely inspire you! Simply follow the link and, perhaps you can add your take to the mix! Would love to see what you create!

Another stunning masculine card Margaret. I especially love the two tone colours on the gears; it makes them look old and rusted. Have made a note of the two colours you used - I think I need to add them to my stash. The clock and the computer generated title add a touch of class and the whole thing is perfect. TFS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love your details and wonderful colouring. Judy
ReplyDeleteFabulous card - love all the detail!
ReplyDeleteFabulous masculine card! You are the absolute queen of cards for boys. Whenever I need inspiration for the man in my life, I just come and visit you, your creativity in an area that stumps most female crafters, is beyond amazing! Love all the elements layered up, with gears and tickets and clocks. So much fun!! Another amazing card my friend. hugs :)
