A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog - March 15th Challenge Anything Goes

Hello My Craft Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good weekend and that any plans that you had are not too badly affected. Our plans have changed completely but it is better to be safe and to heed the warnings.

The new challenge starts today at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog the theme is always Anything Goes and there are wonderful digi papers on offer as prizes to the winners.

This time I used the Steampunk Time digi papers. 

Our challenges are always fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the Challenge Blog.

I used the Renmore Die set from the John Next Door range to showcase the sentiment. The Birthday wishes is a die from Crafter's Companion it was cut in black and I used Pebo Gilding wax to help it to show up. 

For decoration I used the Cogs die set from the John Next Door range. They were cut in black card and then I used Pebo gilding wax on them. I like Pebo gilding wax a lot and I have just treated myself to another colour. The wax  goes on beautifully and so far it the ones I have haven't dried out. 

I made this card for a chap I know who likes this style of card. I do like to match the cards I make to the people I am making them for. I am planning to make another card like this in more feminine colours it will be interesting to see how it turns out. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Moving Along with the Times Challenge blog - the theme is Steampunk

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are all well. At the moment we will be having breakfast on our cruise. When we get home I will catch up with all the blogging and comments, I will also let you know how our holiday went.

Today the new challenge starts at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog. The theme of the challenge is Steampunk. I have to admit this is one of my least favourite themes, I do struggle to make this style of card.

Anyway I will always have a go at a challenge. I created the background with some cog stamps that came free with a magazine. I heat embossed and used Distress inks to make a resist background. 

Why not come a join in with our challenge and show me how this can be done properly. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I have had this stamp for a while it is a Heartfelt Creations stamp called All Geared Up. I stamped in black and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. I made a frame with the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. 

I treated myself to the John Next Door Cogs Media Dies. I cut them with black card and used Pebo Gilding Wax on them. Can you see the brad in the corner it is the centre of one of the cog dies. 

I wasn't sure how much I would use the cogs dies but I needed them for a card that I made for our son-in-law. So I think they were a good investment. 

Have fun whatever you are doing. I will catch up with everyone soon. 

Happy Crafting
