Just a quick post today. I was procrastinating at my desk, avoiding planning next month's class, when I spied the new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. Next thing you know, stuff has jumped onto my desk, rather like a boisterous puppy, wanting to be played with.
Nothing to be done but go with it!
I started with a scrap of Nature Walk DSP and cut a stitched square from it using Stylish Shapes.
From a scrap of retired copper Specialty Metallic papers, I cut two cogs in different sizes from the Gears & Textures dies. From Pecan Pie, I cut an outer cog and from Early Espresso a ladder.
I stamped the Pecan Pie outer wheel with a Pecan Pie and a splatter stamp from Gears & Textures before adhering it over the copper die cut cog so there was the appearance of an inner and outer ring.
The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and is from Garden Gatherings.
After layering up the elements with respect to the sketch, I added a trio of Faux Bronze Pentagons.
Masculine birthday card all done!
