Industrial Grunge

 

 

The current challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog is 'Industrial Grunge'.  This was quite timely since my youngest has a birthday this week, and I really enjoy gears and such for masculine cards.

 

I used the Foundry 3-D embossing folder for the background, adding Black Soot Distress Paint to the embossed silver metallic paper.  I layered papers from the Ciao Bella 'Modern Times' 6x6 paper pad, and then stamped the heart gears from Technique Tuesday 'Love Makes the World Go Round'. I then added a library bookplate, some gears, and some silver number tiles.

Love makes the world go 'round - Tag

Hubby and I aren't too into Valentine's Day celebrations, our anniversary is in January and we've just never felt the need to do much for Valentine's Day so I really didn't need a card.  But, I love a challenge, and I've had this cute gear heart stamp from Technique Tuesday for quite a while and haven't had an occasion to use it much so I decided to try my hand at another tag.

I enjoyed the Tim Holtz January Tag Challenge so much that I wanted to try it again and it fits in perfectly with the challenge over at Frilly and Funkie: Enjoy Your Embossing I heat embossed the Heart with Versamark and Red Embossing Powder, then I embossed a Spellbinders Metal Sheet in a bronze color with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
