Scraps of Darkness

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing some cards with you that I created with Gina's Designs Chipboard. These cards were created in honor of Fathers Day and I designed them with a masculine feel. I've used Scraps of Darkness previous bits and pieces of kits on these.

I've used the Gears Shape Set and Glassine Bags on this card. I love the glassine bags. I have been using them a lot lately and love how great they work with a card. You can slip a gift card in there!

I inked up my glassine bag with Walnut Distress Ink for a vintage grungy look. The gears were covered in modeling paste then covered in Art Anthology for color and shimmer. I tucked some cheesecloth in there for a little softness and texture.

My next card has another masculine theme. I used the hand in the Steampunk 2 Shape Set. I love how pieces of the steampunk set work with this style card.

The chipboard had was painted with gesso then stamped and the edges were inked.

Gina has great chipboard shapes to enhance your cards and these are just perfect if you are thinking of making some masculine themed cards.

Destination Anywhere

Hi Everyone! 

When I think of summer fun time I think travel,adventure,exploration and relaxation.

I created this layout with an adventure theme in mind using Ruby Rock It's Mini Theme- Travel Range.

I used the Travel Picture Frame paper for the background and cut out a postage stamp edge. I wanted the whole layout to have a "postal" type feel to it.

We have Clearsnaps on board with us this month and I have used the "Splash" smooch as splotches in my background.

I think the notebook edge punch from Fiskars adds to the postal type feel I was going for here. I used it on a background layer and on my photo.

I used a spellbinders die and cut it in half. I added some eyelets and a metal charm with some hemp cord and added it to the top of my photo.

I love to silhouette cut photos. I wanted this photo of my daughter to appear as though she were walking right off that bridge and into the page. "Destination Anywhere"

Thanks for stopping by today.
