Hi everyone, I was delighted to be asked again to be a guest designer for this month’s Dream Factory Challenge, where every month the challenge theme is based on a film. This month the chosen film is
***Anything Goes With a Wheel ***
There’s plenty of fabulous inspiration on the challenge blog from the Design Team, where you can also link up your creations here.
Here’s my card for the challenge.
I decided to create a vintage style card using this great car stamp from Visible Image where the wheel is really prominent! I created a smooshed panel using the same colour scheme I first used for my recent craft club cards - Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke, Frayed Burlap and a touch of Black Soot Distress Oxides, then die cut it into a grungy square. I stamped the focal image and added colour with a white Posca pen. I then added some cog and diamond stencilling using the same DOX inks, and some random 2nd generation background stamping of numbers. I stamped the sentiments over the top and highlighted with white Posca, then added a few stamped spatters to add more depth. I die cut a black border, assembled the card, and to finish added Glossy Accents to the car windows and headlights, and some Tim Holtz Idea-ology cogs.
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxides inks (Vintage Photo, Frayed Burlap, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Portobello); Posca pen (white); Glossy Accents;
Tools: AALL & Create die #42 Papyrus Essence; Darkroom Door stencil - Diamonds; craft magazine cogs stencil;
Other: Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini Gears.
