Masculine birthday

Hello. I'm playing in the CAS masculine challenge over at The Paper Players today.

Okay, so this was an experiment on an idea I saw on Instagram from a DT for Altenew. Sorry, I cannot remember who it was, but they used Altenew's new embossing paste on an embossing folder, and it was such a cool technique that I just had to try it. I used a 2D embossing folder from Darice and Simon Hurley's Lunar paste in refined copper.  Put it on thick (next time I do this, even more so) and let it dry overnight.  Then I just carefully peeled it off. I used a thin coat of Mod Podge to glue it to the cardstock. 

The sentiment is from Memory Box and I heat embossed it with Copper Penny by Brutus Munroe. Added a few metal gears for interest and to tie it all together.

Thanks for stopping by.

Congratulations - TSOT#649

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try A Sketch On Tuesdays.

 

As you can see I turned the sketch on its side. The key dies are from Dress my kraft. I added a bit of refined copper lunar paste to them to make them look old and distressed.  The dictionary page is torn out of an old dictionary that I picked up at a second-hand store.  The key hole stamp is from Bo Bunny and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.
