I've been working with embossing folders and metals lately and wanted to use them in a card. I also had some odds and ends and wanted to challenge myself to make a card using them.
Close Up!
I've had this die cut label for months. (It was blank and cut out of white.) I decided to stamp it with a pocket watch and then with newspaper print. I wanted part of my dial to be blank so I made a mask to block off part of the clock face. I have these large acrylic bubbles and I used one on the clock face which magnified it.
The label looked too busy when I finished stamping so I outlined it in silver to tone down the type.
Instead of covering my card completely with the metallic tape, I used two strips, one at the bottom and a thin strip at the top. I then embossed the whole card. I used the new Ranger Distress Paints on them, wiping away most of the color except what stayed in the embossed parts.
This angle really shows the dimension of the card.
I hope you enjoyed my card. Come back again soon.
