It's been a while since I last posted - I've had several family issues in the last several months and it's just sapped the creativity out of me, but I'm finally feeling a little more settled and getting back into my craft room - thank goodness for crafting!
A friend is having surgery tomorrow so I wanted to send along this card from Kent and I to wish him a swift recovery. He loves watching race car driving but I don't have any racing car stamps (what? none out of a million or so stamps???) - so I used gears instead - using tans and browns to keep it masculine.
I masked a rectangle on the kraft panel and inked over Tim's Gears Stencil with Ranger Distress Ground Espresso. I stamped the sentiment from Healing Touch Sentiments by PTI onto a label cut with a Sentiment Strips die from MFT. I layered it over the top of the stencil with foam dots and added Brown Candy Dots from SU.
I used this week's Cas(e) this sketch for my card design.
I'll be back tomorrow with a really fun beach project!
Paper: Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream - PTI
Ink: Ranger Distress Ground Espresso, True Black - PTI
Accessories: Sentiment Strips Dies - MFT, Gears Stencil - Tim Holtz, foam dots, Neutrals Candy Dots - SU, eclipse tape.
I like the design and implication of the gears. I believe these are watch gears (referring to inner working). Superb!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so fun! Great take on the sketch!
