Welcome to the second challenge of the month with The Card Concept, when we give you not one but two mood boards to inspire your creativity. This time around we offer you Industrial Modern and Nature Calls.
I love to play with industrial chic so picked option A for my mixed media card, inspired by the cogs and rusty metal.
I used a background I had on hand that had been sprayed with uncharted mariner and rusty hinge distress inks and ran it through the fabulous mechanical 3D embossing folder. This was then highlighted with antique gold wax rubbed over many of the raised areas and cut into three sections. The chipboard corner piece was left plain as I like the contrast and that it enhances the background without stealing its limelight, so to speak. The copper clay card base was given a very light sponging with black ink around the edges.
Materials used:
- card - watercolour, basic black, copper clay
- distress sprays - uncharted mariner, rusty hinge
- other Tim Holtz products - Mechanical 3D embossing folder, Paper Dolls mini, Small Talk sticker
- other - Big Shot, Industrial corners chipboard (Dusty Attic), heat tool, Dimensionals, craft foam, antique gold wax (Art Alchemy), sponge dauber
What's your vibe? Maybe you have someone in your life who loves industrial, steampunk or fishing and the great outdoors? We'd love to see your creation in our gallery, plus don't forget there's more to see and inspire you over on The Card Concept blog.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Kerry
