WWC213 -Karen's Masculine"Anything Goes" challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Karen is our hostess this week with an "Anything goes" masculine challenge.

I always struggle with masculine cards but I must admit being part of the Watercooler Wednesday has helped me.  My card today uses a Spellbinder 3D embossing folder called Creative Clogs.  I took some Vintage Photo Distress ink and a Picket Fence Life Changing blending brush to added colour to the background.  Boy these brushes are AWESOME!  so easy to use.   I added a stamped sentiment from a Jane's Doodles set called Cake using Versafine Onyx Black.   For my car I used a die from Craft Creations called Morrie Minor from the Iconic NZ dies set.   I cut the main card from glossy black card, used some silver paper to the cut out pieces and some vellum for the windows and pieced them together.    I finished with a few Stampendous Dot Sparklers silver stickers.

Come join in the fun and make a masculine creation .  Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Mondays at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (Tuesdays at 1pm NZ time) to link up your project.

WWC 204 - Gail's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Gail is our hostess this week with an anything goes masculine challenge.

I'm on a roll with my Alcohol backgrounds.  This one is greens and browns  with touches of gold foil.

I used the Alcohol lift ink to stamp this motor bike.  The stamp comes from a set called "For the Boys" that was a freebie with Cardmaking in Easy Steps magazine.  The set is full of great masculine stamps.    I embossed the sentiment from the set in Liquid Platinum powder on a really dark green cardstock.  

Come join in the fun and make a masculine themed project.  Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post.

WWC 203 - Karen's "All about Occasions"

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Karen is our hostess this week with "All about Occasions" challenge.

My card today is to celebrate Valentine's Day

I've been playing lately with Alcohol Inks and recently got some Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift Ink. My background was made with Red Pepper and Watermelon inks and some Isopropyl alcohol on Yupo paper.   I took  Simon Says Stamp "Floral Bliss" stamp set and using the Lift Ink stamped one of the bouquets in the set.  Love the very subtle look you get.  I originally went to embossed the sentiment (from Clearly Besotted "All Occasion Sentiments") directly onto the Yupo paper  --- but look what happened. 

Note to self: DO NOT EMBOSS on Yupo.  So slight change of plans.. to the size of my card and how to add the sentiment.  Trimmed off the ruined piece and added the embossed sentiment onto vellum and adhered onto the panel by wrapping it around it.  Then onto a red panel and then onto the card base.  

Come join in the fun and make any type of occasion card. Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.   You have until Mondays at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (Tuesdays at 1pm NZ time) to link up your project.
