Tag-Steampunk card.

Hi there everyone!

Are you ready for the easter holidays? I`m nearly getting there. Just a few hours at work tomorrow and then i`ll have 13 days off from work. I can really need them now, lol.

So lets just get down to buisness. I have attended several classes with Yasmin Tölche. And this card is from one of them.

This is a card created by folding a large tag (size 12 i believe) in half. As usual we created lots of layers to create more of a 3D effect. We started off with several layers of designpaper. We cut out a lot of ephemera from one of the DP`s of Graphic 45 to use as embellishments on the card. The white wings and the large cog in the background is embossed with several layers. 

Before the embellishing we used some twine to keep some of the layers together. Next we started building the layers of embellishments. The metal heart is coloured with a red ProMarker. (Poppy)

To finish it off we glued on some microbeads and metal cogs. The bow is coloured with inks from Lindy`s Stamp Gang mixed together to get this dirty greenish look. 

Hope you like the card. Thanks for visiting me today. And....

Steampunk bag`n tag card.

Hi everyone!

I while back i attended a class by Yasmin Tölche. We were creating a steampunk bag`n tag card. That`s a paperbag-card with a tag inside. I had so much fun doing this. I just love all the layering. I have learned a lot from Yasmin. She is so creative and energetic and so much fun to be around. Thanks for beeing such an inspiration Yasmin. 

Well, you probabely want to see the card... so here it is.

Isn`t it cool? I just absolutely love it. Papers used are from Graphic 45....i think. If not, you have to arrest me on that, lol. The stamp, i do not know what brand it is, sorry.  But the chipboard gears are Sizzix bigz dies. These are covered with 3 different colours of embossingpowder which gives them this cool rusty effect. 

The pieces is adhered in several layers to make this 3D effect. You can use 3d glue dots or just cut out som old chipboard-pieces. Old boxes makes grate 3D effect so don`t throw away your old cardboard-boxes. It`s a great way to do some recycling. 

The metalpieces are mostly from Tim Holtz and Korthobby.

Thanks for stopping by today.
