J&C Creations - Metal Magic!

Good Morning!
I'm back today with my 2nd project for our theme this week of Metal Magic at the J&C CREATIONS BLOG! Today I have a card to share with you where I have designed to the Design Paper myself using Stamps and Inks. So without further ado, let's begin!


 To start of I have trimmed some Manilla Cardstock to fit onto a 6x6 card blank. I then stamped a cogs background stamp onto two seperate corners using an Emboss Ink pad and Clear Embossing Powder, then heat set. Once cooled I swiped some Distress Stains over the whole piece and blended the edges with Distress Ink Pads.


To add some more interest to the paper I stamped a Floral Stamp in Metallic Distress Paint and once again heat set.


I have made a sentiment the main focal point of this card and to do this I simply stamped my sentiment in Distress Ink and blended once again around the edges. Once happy I mounted both pieces onto some Silver Card. As usual I have embellished the card with a few of my favourite products and here is the result!
