All the stamps I have used are from a set I've had for a few years, I can't remember who makes it but I got it mostly for the lovely penny-farthing bicycle, and I think this is the first time the light bulb stamp has seen ink.
I stamped the cogs and screws onto the kraft card then added some dimension with a few screw-headed brads and a couple of chipboard cogs, coloured with gold wax.
The light bulbs were stamped on yellow card, the screw fittings coloured with a gold gel pen and then fussy cut. I've drawn in cords for them but I've just realised that it would be impossible for them to work like that as they aren't actually screwed into anything!
The "adventure" sticker is part of a gift from a friend and the words are from one of the very first sheets of peel offs I ever bought, some time round about the beginning of time. I've added a little white gel pen to give the impression of light and movement.

Fabulous mm card.Found you via the male room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific masculine card you've created, Jane! Love the vintage (punk) look of those cogs and gears and especially the lightbulbs. Let's just agree that they are magically powered bulbs and let it go at that. *grin* Wonderful details, beautifully executed. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteJane, thanks for sharing your wonderful mixed media masculine card this week at the Watercooler Wednesday challenge. Love all the cogs and those light bulbs, but I really like the sentiment and how it depicts the "adventure" in this card. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat more can I say that hasn't already been said, this is awesome! Love the little dash of white pen to show the light and movement. Fabulous. Thanks for playing at The Male Room. Faith DT.
