The Corpus Clock

Hi Bloggers,

Today I would like to share with you a layout that I made to include rubber stamping and texture.

I used a cog border stamp to stamp a "frame" around the edges of the grey background card, then added some mesh.
I stamped steampunk spiders and butterflies on the kraft background card in black ink.
Then I stamped extra spiders with black ink and embossed them with clear powder before cutting out to use as embellishments.

The "brick" mat behind the photo was made using an embossing folder. I applied ink to the folder before running it through my Bigshot. I just love how it turned out!
The edges were distressed and then inked before stamping the title and journaling - I wanted a graffiti look.

I cut various cogs and gears with my Cricut.
Some I embossed using several different embossing folders.

Some I heat embossed in gold before running through an embossing folder.

Some I covered with Tim Holtz Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint.

One I covered with clear embossing powder...

and one I covered with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder.

The large clock was designed on my Gypsy and cut with my Cricut, with gold paint applied to the edges.

I distressed the edges of the background card layers and the "brick" mats to add some extra texture.

I had lots of fun creating this layout. Hope you like it too.
Thanks for stopping by.

Pink Skull Card

Hi Bloggers,
Today I'd like to share a card that I made for my niece's birthday.
I made 2 versions of this card. The first is a "normal" square card.

I cut one of the skull images from the Cricut Indie Art cartridge in hot pink card, then added texture with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

The "Happy Birthday" greeting is stamped in black ink onto white card with inked edges.

I embossed the background card with another Tim Holtz embossing folder, and inked it slightly with black ink. I also used ink on the doily.

To give my card more of a grungy feel, I added mesh to the background, pulling it apart slightly.

The second version of this design is an "easel" style card.

The letters were cut with my Cricut using the Storybook cartridge.

I adore this skull shape and have used it in all sorts of projects.
Thanks for stopping by.

Steampunk Card

Hi Bloggers,


I'm having a run on cards at the moment and thought I'd share a steampunk one I made using one of my favourite stamps (by Kanban).

I used Promarkers to colour in the image.
The mat is a piece of patterned paper, embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, and highlighted with distress ink in Walnut Stain.

The cogs were cut with my Cricut using the Paper Lace 2 cartridge.
I cut them all from black card. Then I covered one with a gold embossing powder and two with Vintage Photo distress embossing powder.
  
Thanks for stopping by.
