Lots of layers from me this week in the form of Metal Foil Tape, fabulous dimensional flower created from the Tattered Florals die, rusty wire, corrugated card and embellishments galore to create my industrial floral card. I added Metal Foil Tape to card and then embossed the background using the Regal Flourishes Texture Fade, coloured with pitch black Alcohol Ink and then sanded to give an Industrial feel. I then added touches of ginger Alcohol Ink to the crevices and then added to a 5" x 7" card blank.
From any left over foil I cut 6 layers using the Tattered Florals die colouring each layer with sail boat blue Alcohol Ink with touches of ginger here and there, attaching together with a Curio Knob adding further interest and dimension. Before attaching the floral I added three coils of rusty wire, adding the floral to the top.
A further layer in the form of corrugated card which I machine stitched into place along with some string tied to the centre adding yet another layer of interest. I added a Hinge Clip to the edge of the corrugated card attaching a floral and leaves from the Idea-Ology Foliage. I also added "grow" cut from more metal using the Word Play die again colouring with pitch black Alcohol Ink but sanding only a little this time around.

This close up picture shows you the fabulous detail the metal foil gives embossed with the Texture Fade and the contrast between the background and my letters.

Super artwork Tracy !
So many layers, & lots of textures. Cool metal art.
You wouldn't normally put 'industrial' and ,'floral' in the same breathe, but you have done this wonderfully! Love all the layers and the tendrils of rusty wire are inspired! Great one Tracy. x

Tracy, this card is just stunning. I so love metal and you have really done such a beautiful job of coordinating so many forms of metal on this piece. I love the tattered flower. It is just beautiful! I love the embossed metal in the background mixed with the corrugated paper. I love the hinge clip hanging from the edge of the card. It is all just fantastic and a great example not only of layering but of your amazing attention to detail. Love, Candy

Loving what you have done with the metal tape here. Some beautiful layers indeed Tracy. Thanks for sharing, hugs Buttons x
The metal layering is fabulous, giving such a stylish yet grungy look to the whole. And the corrugated bits, and curly bits, and that magnificent flower... fab!

The flower is astonishing but everything works in such harmony and although industrial there is a strong feminine feel to this.
Amazing.
