Hi Folks, well I have to apologise for the patchiness of Forgotten Friday over the past few weeks. As you know, I have been travelling here there and everywhere. My little weekly post is the casualty of that travelling I'm afraid. Anyway, I have managed to create something today, so that is a cause for celebration.
I needed to create something along a Steampunk theme, and was rummaging through some of my Chocolate Baroque stamps. I happened across a couple of stamps that I hadn't used, so decided to make something with those, using another one that I had used, but not since I was creating DT samples with the stamps. I made a background stamping the flying clock with Versamark, and embossing it with clear embossing powder. sports car rentals in las vegas I then coloured the background with Tea Dye Distress Stain, and picked up splodges of ink in various colours over the top, drying each application between the layers. sports car rentals in las vegas I stamped the words 'Time Flies' with black ink in the gaps. I used some of the left over ink to colour a manilla tag with the wrinkle free distress sports car rentals in las vegas technique. sports car rentals in las vegas I embossed a section of a cog mask on a couple of corners of the tag by running it through my Big Shot, and then swiped some Distress ink over the top of the raised areas.
I stamped the beetle onto a spare piece of card, and coloured it with Distress Markers and a water brush, then highlighted the shaded areas with neat markers for depth. I added some cogs and jump rings to the tag, and a couple of stamped words to fit the theme of 'Time Travel'. The word 'Time' comes from a larger stamp taken from the 'Artful Affirmations' stamp set from Chocolate Baroque, if you were wondering.
Thats come ou really well Judith:)I love it. The background looks fab too. Funny, I went to a car boot sale the other day and saw a man selling loads of old watches! I resisted, but thought how great they would be for Steampunk card making:) Michelle sports car rentals in las vegas x
Your beetle s colours are quite gorgeous I love the softness sports car rentals in las vegas of the background you created for him to sit upon on the tag - the latter looks really effective against sports car rentals in las vegas the brighter darker base. The way the flying clock hgihlights the beetle s wings is super too. I have a Forgotten Friday offering HERE Paula (PEP)
Hi Buddy, Smashing card you ve created here. Love the resist background and the colours are great. The beetle looks fab and I always love watch parts. I noticed Michelle said she resisted buying some old watches at a car boot sale. You might remember a local watch repairer gave me several old watches but I have to say they are a b......r to get apart without smashing them to smithereens, lol! I can t even get the backs of many of them. Hugs Lesley Xx
The Craft Stamping Quartet blog was set up by myself and three crafting friends when we decided that we wanted to 'craft together'. We live around the country, sports car rentals in las vegas but keep in touch every day via the Internet. Each month, we choose a project from Craft Stamper magazine, and each make the project, putting our own slant on the project. We then post the finished sports car rentals in las vegas item on the blog.
