Christmas Card Throwdown

Christmas Card Throwdown

Monday 10 February 2014

little bit steampunk

I made this card to enter into the First Project in Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog, I embossed the card with Tim Holtz embossing folders Gears from the pocket watches and steampunk set, I used texture paste with the Twiddley Bitz stencil to add a little bit of texture and coloured the background with Payne's Grey jo Sonja acrylic paints as I did not have this colour in any other colouring sets, I used cheery lynn dies, Balloon, gears, and hand, these have been in my craft hoard for ages and have not used any of them before.   I used the three men stamp from Tim Holtz "Curious Possibilities" and cut it out with a Couture Creations cutting die "Victorian Rectangles" I did all the shading with Ranger distress ink "Vintage Photo"
