Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A couple of months ago our Craft Group added alcohol ink to
embossed Duck Tape.
Our demo leader had mounted Duck Tape on cardstock and dry embossed it
for us to work on.
We added alcohol ink over the top and were then to trim off the cardstock
edges. I liked the look so I didn't trim.
It took a while to figure out what I wanted to do with the piece.
It kept whispering to me "globe".
Then the whispers got louder and finally I listened.
I've had this stamp and die set in my NBUS box for quite a while. It
was way past time to use it.
I die cut the globe and stand from a snippet of brushed silver cardstock
and added it over a circle cut from a piece in the background box.
(I have boxes and boxes of stuff I need to use!)
The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed
with Pewter Embossing Powder.
I thought it was a good match for the embossed design and I have
another masculine card for my stash.
Hooray for another way to use Duck Tape!

This is so cool...your whispers were right and it was good that you listened!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your group of crafters really do come up with ideas I never would have thought of!! Your 'inner designer' had a pretty good idea, too! Always listen to her!
ReplyDelete=]
What a fun way to use the duck tape and so very creative. Unique and fabulous card Bonnie x.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this? This looks like something I have to try! Love the texture this added and that globe is fantastic. Even the print you used behind it is so perfect. Outstanding card and so creative.
ReplyDeleteShut the front door! How cool is that duck tape embossed and alcohol inked?!! And duck tape comes in every color imaginable, although I am loving the silver color coming through. I imagine other colors would be pretty too. That globe is awesome, love the background paper you chose to go behind it. Love this card, a great masculine card for sure! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun look, Bonnie. The globe looks right at home. Great man card.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Do I have any duct tape? Other than red and black that is. I sure want to try that technique, Bonnie. Maybe even without the alcohol ink. The leftover background piece was perfect for the world and the entire card is such a great masculine design.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...duct tape??!! NEVER would have thought to use it, but you can bet I'll be asking Chris for some tonight!! It looks amazing embossed and makes for a perfect masculine card! And I love the globe too, which fits in perfectly with the embossed duct tape! FABULOUS card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, another great use for duct tape and how cool is this. I'm glad you took that little voice seriously and made this card. The globe and stand are so pretty with the duct tape design.
ReplyDeleteWow...really cool way to use Duck Tape, Bonnie. TFS all your details for your wonderful guy birthday card. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea Bonnie, and I think we have some black tape but this looks like silver which is better for adding AI's on to (will definitely be buying some) and the embossing is perfect, and love the die cut globe and the piece from your bits box is so pretty to go underneath..a wonderful masculine card. x
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the duct tape! And of course because you used blue, I was immediately drawn to your card! Great design for a masculine card.
ReplyDeleteWowsers...how cool is that!! Embossed duct tape...perfect for our "add texture" challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz! Thanks for joining the fun and playing along with us!!
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought, but the duct tape makes a great metallic piece with the AI, and altogether it's a fabulous masculine card!
ReplyDeleteI knew our current challenge would bring out some new and interesting techniques. I’ve never thought of embossing duck tape before! Thanks for adding your lovely card to our challenge over at The Male Room. X
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! This turned out great, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the AI on the duct tape- the texture is amazing and has a hint of grunge :)
ReplyDeleteGreat result from what sounds like a fun technique. We could have all sorts of fun with duck tape in the Snippets Playground couldn't we???? LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for submitting your homework to the Snippets Playground! Meet me in the Treehouse later for lots of fun and while your there, try out one of my cocktails? xxx
The globe looks perfect with your embossed panel, well done for using it. I think that duck tape idea is pretty special, who would have thought of it. Obviously somebody did, I might have to give it a go xx
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about DUCT tape that we buy at a hardware store or is DUCK tape something a brand name of a type of tape? Confused! Fun card though and interesting idea!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great effect that gave to the tape to be embossed and then use the alcohol inks, so cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous technique Bonnie and an awesome result - now my creative juices are flowing.... thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Fabulous masculine card Bonnie! LOVE the AIs on duct tape. So cool, especially with the embossed design. Great work my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteYou did a great masculine card! Perfect use of dry embossing technique. Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us at The Male Room.
ReplyDeleteMaja, DT
Interesting duck tape use with cool results. The globe is cute. Great masculine card. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this wonderful idea, I can't wait to give it a try. Marvellous effect and design on your card. We appreciate you taking the time to join in our challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. Caz. DT
ReplyDeleteHow clever this is Bonnie! Lovely work. My last boss when I was working swore by duct tape and carried a roll of it everywhere - in his briefcase. Lo and behold, we had a work assignment for the EU in Cyprus - and it turned out that he'd even taken a roll of it in his hold suitcase for emergencies! I wonder if I should send him the link to your post? Smile.
