My Card
click image to enlarge
My card is made using Steampunk Watch from Reeces Scrap Pieces. As usual my card is a neat and tidy steampunk ! Lol! Those of you who know me also know that I just don't do grunge I'm afraid. The base card is from AnnaMarie Designs and is 14.5 x 14.5 cms in dark grey pearl card. I rarely use ready made cards because I find they are just too flimsy but these from AnnaMarie are pretty good quality. The black and grey striped card is from Pennies Worth. I used Papermania Tri-Boss embossing folder Chronology Clocks to emboss a piece of mat silver card from my bits box. The digi image was printed onto a scrap of palest grey card and the Papermania cogs were also die cut from scraps so I will be able to play in the playground with the rest of you playmates! The sentiment was computer generated onto the pale grey card and matted onto the dark grey pearl card. I originally thought that I would fussy cut the watch but I made a real hash of that so I had to go with Plan B. Lol!
Well that's another male card that can go into my box. Always nice to get some cards for the menfolk in there!
Hope you are all keeping well and have been enjoying your weekend.
It looks really good in shades of grey, Christine. I love the Tri-boss folder. I haven't seen it before so I might have to check it out. Hazel x

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteI'm not a grunge/steam punk gal either so it is difficult to make guys cards sometimes. This one is spot on for a fella.
Best wishes.

ReplyDeleteGood evening Christine.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, those "cogs are brilliant as is the whole design.
I am not into Grunge although I have done a few. Certainly could not cope with "steampunk" unless like you have done ....... Neat & Clean!!
Have a great week

Helo Christine, Excellent man card, love the image printed on different colour. I am going to try some steampunk soon when the big tidy is either finished or abandoned. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteMarvellous card Christine. I do not even try to fussy cut.
ReplyDeleteChristine, love your card. I am not a great fan of grunge, but this is lovely. Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteOh I do so love your non-grungy Steampunk card Christine. It's also a nice CAS creation in my opinion too. I love the silver embossed background and the striped paper really sets it off. Great card.
