Mechanised Greetings Card

'Mechanised Greetings Card' by Neil Burley

For the 'Here Come the Boys' theme this month, I used the 'Chain + Cog Frame' from Delicious Doodles. I used MS Word to shrink the first copy to A6 size, the second slightly smaller, and the third slightly smaller still before laser printing onto thin card. I fussy-cut each of the centres out so they could be layered.

My background is a scanned copy of one of my GelliArt plate prints, shrunk to ATC size and laser printed. I colour matched Distress Markers to colour the frames and then layered them using foam pads to stick to an A6 white card. I added a couple of Tim Holtz Idea-ology cogs, sticking them down with matt multimedium.

For the sentiment, I covered an ATC with self-adhesive foil and then hand drew the greeting into it with a fine embossing tool. I cut out the shape and then added Black Soot Distress Paint all over, waited a moment or three for it to dry, and then wiped it off with a kitchen towel trying to keep the paint in the grooves. Attach to the card with layers of foam pads, and for dressing, attach chain with brads and matt multimedium.

I finished off by adding a smear of Vintage Photo Distress Ink round the frame. Hope you like!

Masculine card

Hello there! It's Ria here today.

I'm sharing a masculine card just fit for this month's theme "Here Comes the Boys" I used a digi image from Delicious Doodles called Vintage Norton.
The image is already perfect on its own so I did only minor coloring with Promarkers.

As this is intended for a guy recipient, I embossed the background with chevron and added minimal embellishments.

There's still time to play in this month's challenge so go grab you stash and make one card for the boys.

Have a great day!

I just fell in love with the images for this month.
And thanks to Dawn (massive thanks again Dawn!) I was able to play with them... my computer wouldn't talk to my printer so Dawn was kind enough to print me off some images to create with.

This is the card I made to share with you this month...

It's been great seeing all the wonderful cards you have been creating this month too.
Thank you for joining in with the challenge.

Happy crafting

Day 19 at The Crafting Cafe

Morning Folks

It's Mags here and welcome to Day 19 of our current challenge at The Crafting Cafe.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Delicious Doodles and I used one of their fab images for my inspiration project.

This image worked really well for our Here Come The Boys theme.  Lots of inking, distressing and mica powders used on this one.  For more details please pop by my blog which can be found here.  

Thanks for popping by and do hope you will join in with the challenge.  The closing date is the end of June so you still have plenty of time left to get creating.

Bye for now

Mags
