Industrial Chic and Oxides

Hi Bloggers.

I have one last sample featuring dies from the Industrial Chic Collection (I do actually have one more but that's for my workshop on Saturday).

For the background, I started by scrunching up a piece of Coconut White Card. I opened it out an touched the peaks of the card with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide. I misted with water and left it a couple of minutes for the ink to move a little. I then ironed it with my Encaustic Iron to flatten out my card and stop the ink from moving any more. I used the crackle stamp from Lisa Horton's Textures  Stamp Set and stamped it several times on my background using Frayed Burlap Oxide. I distressed the edges of my background with a Woodware Edge Crimper and then edged with Frayed Burlap Oxide using a Smoothie. I matted onto Black Card and then Coconut White Card.

I cut die #1 from the Industrial Chic Background into a strip of Chestnut Card twice. I glued it to a piece of Black Card and then trimmed to fit my background. I glued it in place.

I cut die #3 from the Industrial Chic Frame & Tag Die Set out of Black Card and the Ransom Note Birthday Die out of Chestnut Card.

I completed my card by adding some elements from the Industrial Chic Mixed Essentials cut from Chestnut and Black Card.

Thanks for stopping by.

  6. The background is great - used to use this technique a lot but I've forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder. Overall effect is great.

  9. I love the card and especially like how you trimmed away the “day” from the Ransom Note die and added alongside “Birth” I prefer it like that It reads so much better (to me)

  10. Good Morning Julia. This card is beautiful. Very well done Julia. We should never be stuck for mens cards ever again with this lovely selection of dies .I was never a fan of steam punk but you have changed my mind with the last few samples you have shown us. Beautiful work. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

  16. Great design here Julia. I love these new Industrial Chic dies. Have used them a few times now. They are brilliant for men's card but in other colours and with the butterfly and dragonfly they are good ladies cards as well. The two I have done, so far, were liked by both recipients.
