Hello my dear visitors and welcome to my crafty space.
Hope your day is going well so far.
It's time again for a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Judy is our lovely host and the Theme is
LOTS OF LAYERS!!
As always, you may create whatever you wish as long as it follows the Theme.
I have a masculine card for this Challenge. Another quick and easy one I made a while ago which I felt was eminently suitable for this Challenge.

This one was made with lots of scrappy bits of papers that were left on my work desk. I'm pretty sure they are a mix from Kaisercraft and Prima.
I did a little machine sewing on this but, as you can see by the photos, that didn't go terribly well. The thread kept breaking and, when I finally checked it, I found that the machine wasn't threaded or tensioned properly. Duh!! I was going to use another piece of dp but, went over the zig zag stitching again just to make sure it was working, and then decided that I would use it anyway. Waste not, want not!! LOL!!
Trimmed a couple of the paper pieces into little banners .. just because.
Cut a little banner from one of the scraps and added a sticker for the greeting.
I do love adding clocks to my masculine cards. This one was fussy cut from a sheet of Kaisercraft dp (don't remember which collection) and then mounted on a piece of chipboard.
Pop on over to the CCM blog and take a look at the fabulous creations by my Team mates. I'm sure you will feel inspired to play along with the Challenge.
Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #222 - Lots of Layers
Thank you so much for stopping by and do enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care and God Bless.
What a wonderful card Marg!! And to think you developed it from just the bits of paper scattered around~ (That can be just the right thing sometimes; can't it!) Loving all the layers and distressing you did; and the clock with it's dimension is perfect! Hugs to you, karen o

ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. This was a perfect theme for you as you always have lots of lovely layers and it's a great way to use up those papers. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteFabulous layering ; your trademark way of creating and I love that clock face - going to rustle through my old Kaisercraft paper so see if I have it tucked away for a rainy day. TFS

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you can create ANYTHING! This masculine card is equally as attractive as your more feminine and holiday makes I've just enjoyed. So happy I said "just one more..." I love the 'messy' stitches and the layer with the cogs is inspiring! Great card! Sadly for now, this is all the time I have to spend visiting your lovely blog. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and many blessings that the New Year brings!
