This is for Cathy's fun "Make it Masculine" challenge. It is so good to be back and getting inky - I have missed my Splitcoastie family!!!
The background for these cards started out life as a dodgy mixed media panel, it was a muddy greyish-purpely colour which never looked quite right. As some of you know, I never throw anything out in hope that it can be repaired or used for practising new techniques on LOL. I recently purchased a few bottle of Tattered Angels "Glam" and some Tattered Angels "Glaze" so I thought I would practice on the failed panels.
I am really happy with the end result. I have put one panel away for this weekends VSN (thank you for the reminder Miss Carla) and turned the other panel into these two 5" square cards. The feathers (and cog) are die-cut from a tube of tomato paste sent all the way from Ireland, courtesy of Sabrina. We just have plastic tubs and glass jars here, nothing as exotic as metal tubes. I added a few drops of alcohol ink to make the feathers look a bit rustic.
Thank you for looking, I had heaps of fun making these cards.
