Gearing Up

Welcome

It's been a bit of a mission getting this far - I have my own computer, finally, and I am still getting used to it and all the differences with updated programmes etc 😀


I love how this turned out - I used a S/B 3-D embossing folder (disontinued) on the orange card, then layered over it a Memory Box Cogs die cut, (again discontinued)  cut from bronze paper.
This was attached with a few drops of glue and gold brads


The sentiment (a magazine freebie) was heat embossed using copper ep


The completed panel was mounted on a dark green cardstock base


The inside was finished with some industrial style Washi tape.

    Hi Maxine,

    I love this card... so perfectly masculine and bright as well.
    I made something similar a few months ago and all it needs is a sentiment to complete the picture.

    I hope you and yours are well.

    Take care,

    Monica

    This is fabulous Maxine, a lovely embossing folder - it would be perfect for one of those difficult men in our lives.

    A super masculine card Maxine, would fit in perfectly at Allsorts this week.

    Good luck with the new computer, it takes time, but I'm a few weeks in with my new iMac and finding it a lot easier than I expected.

    When Steampunk first came to the crafting scene I fell in love with it but how many times do we make a non steampunk card but use cogs and wheels. They have become so handy to use to create cards, especially for men. Love this one you have done today, very strong in colours and just perfect.
    God Bless
