Morning, Thursday so that means it's time for my weekly post for
Katzelkraft.
I have used the
Hologe stamp set, I love the large clock face image on this one and have used it as my focal point on my card. I thought this would be perfect for a masculine birthday. I have applied crackled texture paste through Tim Holtz clockwork layering stencil and once dry I spritzed the background with Weathered Wood and Iced Spruce Distress Spray Stains and added touches of Tarnished Brass as a contrast.
The focal image has been stamped onto a piece of white card that has been coloured with Iced Spruce and Weathered Wood Distress Inks, stamping with black Archival Ink for a bold focal point. I have also added an Idea-ology sprocket for added interest. I have also included a bottlecap with part of the image stamped on the inside, adding watch parts and then filling with clear Ultra Thick Enamel. A Game Spinner has been added to the top. For further interest I also included Memo Pins with added lettering to spell TIME which I filled carefully with clear Ultra Thick Enamel. I normally use Glossy Accents but I did not want to wait so long for them to dry, too impatient!
'Just Celebrate' had been added for the sentiment which I thought was perfect for any occasion including a birthday. Mini tags have been die cut from white card, coloured with Weathered Wood Distress Ink and I have stamped 2015 onto each one. I adore the shimmer from the metallic Distress Spray Stains, I added a touch of Brushed Pewter Distress Spray for added shimmer which combines beautifully with the Weathered Wood and Iced Spruce.
For added texture I also included a twine bow behind my bottle cap.
I would also like to enter this into the
