OWH Sketch Challenge #156

Good Afternoon --

I am going to make this a quick post as I am in the middle of some other crafty projects.  I wasn't going to do today's challenge but then I saw the sketch and Marelene asked "What are you going to put in that big rectangle" I knew I wanted to use a Jolee's Steampunk dimensional sticker I purchased last summer.  So I got busy and made my card.  I also explored using Tim Holtz distress stains.  I hadn't really tried them before but I am really pleased on how they added a little pizzazz to my dry embossed card stock.  I'll be exploring more with them and know I will be using them much more often.  I had to move the sentiment over to accommodate the length of the sticker and my little industrial brads and gear that I added.  I also used some copper metallic ribbon by Shaggee that I have had for years but never used until today.  See sometimes it pays to hang on to things that you might use someday.  LOL

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.  I hope to get a few more cards made for OWH and in the mail this coming week.

Blessing to you all,


Sharon S.

I used S.U. card stock, sentiment and Argyle embossing folder on the blue cardstock.  On the light gray card stock I used Tim Holtz Alterations Patchwork set embossing folder.  I used Tim Holtz Tea Dye stain and Brushed Pewter distress stains on the light gray and on the blue I used just the brushed pewter distress stain.  I don't remember where I purchased the gear and industrial looking brads.
