Steampunk style

Hello
Today I'm sharing a card made for an 18th birthday for someone who loves textiles and design. Hope it fits the bill.

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the photos of how I made the background. I used an embossing folder for the tailor's dummy image and stuck on black peel-offs, before painting over it with black gesso and Fresco Finish chalk paint.

I used various metallic waxes to highlight the embossed areas...

...and added the embossed and die cut numbers.

It's a good technique to get a different look from your embossing folders.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day xx

Hello
Hope you are all keeping safe, well and occupied. A super quick one now that I'm back at work. Yesterday's prompt for the #craftingwithgiogio challenge was tags. I thought I would do something quickly with scraps I already had but it still seemed to take ages. Then the light was too poor to photograph it...and then it was too bright...anyway here goes.

People are interpreting the challenges in amazing ways so do take a look if you fancy some crafty inspiration.

Take care everyone and thank you for stopping by xxx
