Steam Punk

Hi everyone!

This week I'm all geared up to create some interesting and surprising cards using gear die cuts and gear motifs.  I think you'll be surprised as how pretty some of them are.
So, starting tomorrow, stop on by and see what gears and steam punk can be in a card!

See ya,

Wish Card

Happy Wednesday!

I have a lovely card that I want share with you today called "Wish".

I used one of the new Kraft Glassine sheets that Ranger has put out.  Its pretty different as a medium to work with.  It doesn't take double stick tape at all well.  I am using tacky glue to adhere it to the card. 

1. I embossed the sheet
2. I rubbed Vintage Photo dye ink over the embossed parts to bring them out.
3. I sprinkled drops of water on it after I heat set the ink.  I blotted these off again.
4. I took my gold paint pen and made a puddle of ink on a piece of folder scrap paper and wiped smears of gold ink on the front.
5. I heat set the piece again.

I have to say that the gold paint came out really well.  You can't really tell from the photo but the gold is really shiny.  It adds to the look of a handmade piece of paper.

I took some 1 1/2" webbing ribbon and created a fan.  I held the fan together with a brad.  I used grey sewing thread and attached my acrylic jewel.  I adhered the whole thing with a pop glue dot to my card.

I added the word "wish" to my card using mounting tape.  I used an Accucut die and cut out the word WISH from a piece of chipboard that I had covered with gold foil.

Thanks and come back again!
