Hi bloggers! First of all, I want to apologise for the colour issue on yesterday's card. I have been having some issues with Blogger recently. The pic was absolutely fine when I looked at it on preview, so I don't have a clue why it came out so pink (as the rest of them didn't look pink and they were all taken at the same time!) Blogger also sent up a second post yesterday right in the middle of my writing it! I do apologise if you received a second email that did not make any sense! Now on to today's card, which hopefully will be a fun card for the guys in your life. The background was creating using the faux leather technique. There are about a dozen pics below the card pictures showing step by steps for this technique so I will skip it here. I stamped the vintage car from the Going Places set from Justrite stamps using a coffee archival ink pad. I cut it out with the matching vintage Labels and Banner die set. I used a light inking of Antique Linen distress ink while still in the die. I used a pale blue pencil behind the card. Cotton hemp ribbon was wrapped around the card in both directions. I added some gears as accents, stamped a metal edged tag with a sentiment and tied it on with some natural jute twine. Add a suitable sentiment for your own personal occasion and your guy's card is sorted! Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
Continue this process working up your card. Remember to turn your pieces so that they overlap. Also, this will create a pleasing effect since you will always have straight sides from the edge of the tape to disguise.
You can either trim your edges in a paper trimmer or wrap the tape around the back of the card (that does take a bit longer to do though). You can also rip or tear the edges for an interesting effect. I use scissors to get it started due to the thickness, but it tears easily after that.
Using any colour of distress ink, use the pad directly on to your masking tape. You can use one or more colours with nice results. I started by covering the entire piece with Tea Dye here.
I added Walnut Stain to the edges of the piece to give it a darker shadow. (On the actual card above, I used Pumice Stone distress ink as my second colour.)
Don't worry about how dark it appears as that is only temporary.
Using a piece of kitchen roll, wipe the entire piece down, removing the excess ink.
Next cover the entire piece with clear embossing powder. You will not need to add any other products to get the powder to stick. The distress ink will still be wet enough (yes, even after rubbing it) to allow the powder to stick.
Heat your embossing powder to melt it over your entire piece.
Next use your piece as a lovely background for your card or even cut it into panels for a more interesting look. All for now, Sue x
Great Mans card today. Love the tutorial, will have to give that a try.

ReplyDeleteI have done this technique a few times since watching you demo it on C&C and its not always when making cards. I made scrap book covers and also covered boxes. So thank you once again for a brilliant technique. Great mans card today I love the way you embellish your men's cards which I find hard to do without over doing it or making it girlie. You give us brilliant ideas of what to use.

Morning Sue, I am in awe at the faux leather background, and thank you for the tutorial, I am going to try doing this one. Coincidentally I was making a card for my Brother-in-Law yesterday and I used the other one of these stamps, the one with the aeroplane on, I just need to add the sentiment, it came out beautifully. Your card is absolutely brilliant, and I will definitely be trying this one. Thank you for your fantastic inspiration.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
Great card. Thanks for the tutorial. X
Wow. Sue, how on earth did you come up with the idea for that background, it's amazing. From the other comments it seems as if it isn't the first time you have shown it, so I must have missed it somehow. I am definitely going to have a try, even if not on this card design. (I still can't warm to that odd shaped die).
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteHow did you ever come up with this clever background idea? It is lovely. The card is very clever for a guy, I love those stamps and dies... Thanks
morning Sue
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the Tut.today = I have not seen this effect before but will definitely be giving a try. It looks fantastic and will be so useful for the not so frilly cards we love to make. I really do like the travel set of dies and they are on my list of to buy to add to the few I have. I have pre-ordered my book so that will be waiting for me when I return to the UK next week.

I've a head like a sieve so unless I do it a number of times I'd never remember the technique so it would be great if I could access it when I need the instructions.

Cracking mens card, like the steering wheel, and cogs. Like the way you have got away with ribbon on a mens card .Good job. Done the masking tape trick before but not embossed it. One to try i think
