Just Playing - Making Cards #3

Hello dear crafty friends.  So pleased you stopped by for a visit.

So, this is episode three in my 'Just Playing' series!  This time, I'm sharing one of the masculine cards I created.  

The papers I collected for these cards is, as is usually the case, by Kaisercraft.  I also die cut lots of cogs (because I like those on my male cards)  and printed out a few clocks (another embellie I love to use, not just on my male cards, but on the more feminine ones as well) and gathered some chippies and some fibre pieces as well.  So, to make each card, that was the stash I had to select from.  I should have taken a photo of it all but, unfortunately, didn't think of that at the time.  Duh!!

These papers are from the Base Coat 6.5" x 6.5" pad. 

 Did a little stamping on the top layer ..

.. and also used a Tim Holtz MM die at the bottom of the piece.  The chippie sentiment is by Scrapmatts.  Love them!!

The clock and gears are a die from Simply Dies.  I cut it several times from black cardstock and then simply glued a few of them together for extra dimension.

 I also randomly heat embossed the piece with metallic powders in bronze and green to get the aged effect.

Normally, when I use embossing powders, I hate getting that mottled look but, in this case, it was exactly what I wanted!  Sweet!!

There you go!!  Another quick and easy card done and dusted!!

Still have a few more of these cards to share, but that is for another day!

As always, thank you so much for your visit. 
Do enjoy the rest of your day and have fun with your crafting!

Take care and God Bless
