Hello everyone!! Thank you for stopping by my blog and
hope you are having a wonderful day.
hope you are having a wonderful day.
Just a quick little post to share a card I created for my oldest son's Birthday last year.
The base card is made with black cardstock, and the paper was a piece left on my desk from another project.
The fabulous gauges were a free printable from the net. I simply mounted them on a piece of chipboard which had been cut to size and then clear embossed them.
A touch of white embossing was added to the background, and then I added the Textured Subway diecut (made with black cardstock) and the circles chippie (by Scrapmatts). Building up a bit of grunge and texture.
For more texture and interest, I added a sprinkling of black and white prills. (I do love my prills for adding that lovely touch of grit and grunge)
The Happy Birthday tag was taken from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.
Thank you so much for your visit and the lovely comments you leave me. I really appreciate it immensely! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Take care and God Bless.
You made a beautiful card for your Son's birthday. Lovely dimensions and vintage details. You allways make fantastic masculine cards. Marlies

ReplyDeleteLove the gauges you used. What an excellent find on the net. As usual, your masculine cards are full of interest with the layering and texture. Like you, I'm a big fan of prills - they so to go with everything. Lovely work. TFS
ReplyDeleteLOVE the entire card, BUT, the gauges are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely blown away by this card, Margy - the gauges are a spectacular centrepiece, especially with that glossy coating to give them some real substance and dimensionality. Brilliant composition as always, and I see that Subway die is still doing sterling work as a fabulous framework to structure the layout around. Love it!
