Hello....
I
had a browse through a few cds this morning before I went off to
class looking for something to do
In
the end I printed several different sheets and papers from the fab
Debbi Moore Shabby Chic Mechanical cd
Didn't
really have anything in mind so took along a selection of card stock,
5 or 6 coloured ink pads and loads of stamps
Once
at class I started cutting out then WHAM – a brick wall!
I
just had no idea at all as to what I was going to do
I
decided I didn't like the papers
Then
I wasn't happy with the colour of the card stock I'd taken
The
stamps weren't really what I wanted...
Drat....
So
I did nothing
I
came home, unpacked the stuff – looked at it all – and went off
to sit in the sun!
So
I was pretty sure I wouldn't have anything at all to share tonight
BUT
thanks to Orange and the appalling please hold the line rubbish I
made a start!
This
is my card and how I made it.....
Using
2 sheets of grey card I cut them down to create an 8x8 card blank
Next
I found a sheet of matt silver mirri card so added a layer of it
leaving a very narrow border.
Because
I was going for a steam punk card I used a sanding block to distress
the edges of the mirri card leaving a white core.
I
had an odd sheet of black pearlescent paper so I roughly tore a
square to fit on my card then rubbed my versamark pad along the 4
sides randomly, covered with silver metal magic by Debbi Moore and
heated from the back
Again
I used the versamark pad on the the outer edges and this time covered
with matt black metal magic – heated it and got a really distressed
look which works perfectly!
I
attached the paper to my card front with double sided tape – I put
it at an angle rather than lining it up
As
I had cut out 3 or 4 different sheets I wasn't really sure which bits
went with what so choose a large circular design that had Time
Changes written on it and a smaller circle with Time is your making
on it
I
glued the larger circle to the top left and over lapped the smaller
circle
A
3rd circle was a similar design to what was on the largest
so I rubbed it all over with the versamark pad then covered with UTEE
– ultra thick embossing enamel – heated from the back and
repeated the process 3 times so it had a beautiful glaze
This
was then stuck over the 2 circles with cosmic shimmer PVA glue
I
used one of the sentiment ribbons Cherish every moment – this was
placed at an angle tucked just under the 3rd circle.
To
finish I found a small cog that I pushed a screw design brad through
and attached in the bottom right hand corner and the top left corner
shows a circular blob that I again used a screw design brad in!
Have
to say it worked out pretty well in the end – well through my eyes
it did!
Till
the next time then.....
