Clockworks

Wow, this month is flying by and it is already time for another challenge at ATCAS! The design team members each take turns choosing the code words, and WOW have they been choosing some great ones. :) This week was no exception.
Darnell is continuing on as Guest Designer this month and has another great card to share with us. I always look forward to seeing what she has created!  Make sure to stop by her blog and give her some love! 

When I saw the code word, I immediately knew I wanted to do a masculine card. I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!.

I had some burlap ribbon left over, so I tried something new and embossed my sentiment on the burlap. It worked beautifully with the Early Espresso Embossing Powder!
This sentiment is from the brand new Bravo photopolymer stamp set that will be available for purchase on June 2nd. I earned it as an incentive and I just love it. The fonts are really large and there is a great variety of sentiments.  I thought the gears from Clockworks worked perfectly for my masculine card. After I stamped them, I sponged on Crumb Cake ink with a sponge dauber.  The edges are also textured with the texturing tool, so there is another use of the code word!

Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to check out the card by the rest of the design team!

    LOVE your frayed burlap strip ... and thanks for the tip about embossing directly on the strip - awesome! Great texture with the burlap and the frayed edges of your main panel. Loll xx

    Fun, fun, fun card, Shana!! I had no clue that you could emboss on that burlap ribbon and I have a big roll of it! Thank you for this fab idea! And thank you, too, for your kind words to welcome me back for the second May challenge. It's been an honor to be a part of the talented ATCAS team!! Hugs, Darnell

    Wow Shana - love the embossed sentiment on the burlap ribbon, would have thought it too textured to be able to do this so must give it a go! Love the grunge and textured edges.
