Welcome to my creative space!
I'm up on the Studio75 blog with a masculine card created for my dad who had a birthday in June. I've featured the fabulous Cherry Blossom collection that includes some great grungy designs that are perfect for masculine projects. I've also used wonderful chipboard pieces from the Studio75 store HERE.
I enjoy putting personal touches on the cards I create. My dad served in the photomapping division of the Air Force, so the wings are a perfect element. He is also an amateur radio operator enjoying a nickname based on his call letters that includes King George, so I couldn't resist including the crown brad.
Tips and Techniques
The background is prepared by stamping the edges randomly with the Agateria Grill 3 stamp using permanent ink. Next a circle design is stenciled with black distress oxide ink, using the Coptic Impressions stencil and spritzed with Lindy's Gang Tainted Love Teal. I just adore the grungy effect!
This Scrapiniec Chained Wings Chipboard piece is painted with Little Birdie Crafts Tinted Metallic Paint in teal, gold, and silver then rubbed with several colors of Finnabar metallic wax to give a shimmery metallic finish. I've also added tiny metal cogs for dimension.
The Journey sentiment is a metal piece from my stash. I've heat embossed Artistiko Cogs with aged silver embossing enamel and rubbed with Finnabair Peacock Metallic Wax. The title fits perfectly across the two cogs.
An arrow from the Scrapiniec Focus Collection which is finished with the same techniques as the cogs.
Scrapiniec Confettie Stars are heat embossed and scattered across the background. The metal elements are painted with Little Birdie metallic paints and rubbed with Finnabair's waxes in gold, silver, and teals.
More of the metal pieces. You can see some of the edge stamping here as well.
Prills and microbead texture is adhered with Bambino Glue.
The card front is adhered to a Studio75 15x15cm Blank Card. I just adore these heavyweight and sturdy card bases!
