Anchor Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's been a really busy week but I found a few minutes to make a card.

I used the sketch that Jen T. offered up at Freshly Made Sketches.

It's perfect for using some of that hoard of papers in my stash.

I'm afraid that nearly everything used on this card is no longer available.

But it's a great sketch to use up some of that paper.  I think I might make some more.

Challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #683 - See below

Krafty Chicks #765 - Masculine

Love Those Pretty Papers - Use patterned paper (did not use the option of Springtime)

The Male Room #197 - Geometric (I have squares and diamonds)

  

 

Card Recipe

Stamps:  All Occasions (Jane's Doodles)

Ink:   VersaMark

Paper:   Cinnamon Cider, Gold Foil, World of Good Specialty Paper (ret SU)

Other:  Gold EP, Sailing Home Die (ret SU), Twine (?)

Enjoy!

Duck Tape Meets Alcohol Ink

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!

Challenges:

Cardz 4 Guys - Add Texture to Your Card

The Male Room - Dry Embossing

Snippets - Where Sarn is hosting this time. (I used a snippet for the die cut globe)
