Welcome
Another masculine card - relying more on texture this time

The background was based on a video by Natasha Foote, but the embossing was not as marked as I would have liked it - not sure why, but... to try to emphasis it, I wiped my versa mark ink over it, and poured over copper embossing powder.

Unfortunately, because the relief pattern was not very high, it stuck to most of the card front, so out came a paint brush and I selectively brushed a lot of it off - not exactly the result I wanted, but I pushed on regardless..

The sentiment was stamped across a small square of white card, and adhered to one of the background panels - but it really didn't cooperate when I glued it on.

The stamp and die set are from Paper Rose, and I stamped it in Versa Fine Clair Pinecone ink,
mounted it on a strip of copper paper. I added a wee piece of the same paper under the opposing corners when I mounted the main panel on the red base.
A strip of the copper paper was used on the insert also, and I layered a trimming from the main panel over it - I know I took a photo of it, but it has disappeared - oh the joys of technology :)

Way too cute with this tractor, reminds me of when I was a kid and picking grapes...x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous tractor Maxine, great masculine card and know one or two girls who would appreciate it. I'm going to see if it's available in the UK as would suite one or two of our family perfectly.

It's a fabulous masculine card, Maxine! The embossed panel made with squares is a clever idea and for me it looks great!
ReplyDeleteA great tractor-image! And so good the combination with the diamond shapes! A real male card. Enjoy the weekend!

It is so annoying when things don't go as planned, but we would never have known if you hadn't told us. I love the random nature of the embossing on the background and that's a great looking tractor xx

Cool card! Love farming. The diamond background is a good choice. Reinds me of wire fencing. Love it.

Your missing insert sounds delightful - you know how I'm impressed with what you do.
ReplyDeleteFabulously masculine background, I actually like the little bits of embossing you can see, it's different but still very effective. It really is a great image you chose too.
Blessings, Neet xx
