Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI've done this background technique with distress inks but not with the oxide inks! I have so many things on my 'I need' list and the oxide ink pads have gone right to the top. I love everything about today's card and really enjoyed watching the video thanks for sharing!
Congratulations Crafty Coffey!

Love the great effect on the corners. A very good card to use for anything as can just change the word. Thank you. Like the video. Have a wonderful weekend all.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. I absolutely love what you have done with this card. So easy yet so brilliant. I watched the video and like crafty sue I cringed when you screwed the card up. But what a lovely effect. I don't have and I've never used the alcohol inks before..... would you get a similar effect with just the ink pads?....I have quite a few man cards to make in the next couple of weeks so I might be experimenting. Worth a try Thankyou for the inspiration Sue. Sending good wishes to everyone this awful miserable morning here in Leeds. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
ReplyDeleteSome great techniques used here, Sue and so effective.
ReplyDeleteAnne (Northampton)
Hi Sue - I am not really a 'distressed' person so to speak! but I absolutely love what you've done to this card. The video is so easy to follow and has inspired me to get my alcohol inks out of the drawer again. Thank you for another wonderful and different style of card. Sending best wishes

Steampunk is not my style but there are
ReplyDeletesome iteresting effects on this card. Looking

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
Industrially beautiful, I love playing at chqanging pieces of card and the corner die is so useful for either gender and can be used when creating quite pretty cards. Surprisingly I have used this die rather a lot, (for men and ladies) as I don't usually do "steampunk" but this just works for me.
Regards
Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue, as I don't have any alcohol inks, yet, I was wondering whether using my 'steely looking' gilding flakes would work on those lovely industrial corners. I will have to wait until I get back to the UK -next week in order to watch your video. I do like the effect of your background. Enjoy your card CC. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, this is a really fabulous looking card, love the look of the aged background. Well done Crafty Coffey on winning the giveaway card. Off to watch the video. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this card, and the background you've created is fabulous. I have no probs with crumpling paper but this ageing the edges with shears still presents a problem. I must just try and persevere. Just goes against the grain, sort of.... and never looks as good as when you do it.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten just how good inks on Miri card can look. Fabulous card, love it.

Hi Sue

Morning Sue, what a great card, I'm not really into grunge cards, but I may have to give this on a try.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletethe card looks fab and the aged paper is stunning.
Thanks for the video.

Hi Sue, an interesting card. Industrial chic and grunge not my style but very inspirational for those who like it. Thanks for your video. Congratulations to the lucky card winner.
ReplyDeleteAnother Fab Card xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a great idea for using the alcohol inks I have recently purchased.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
I love it :)
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card love your background haven't watched video yet but I will later. I have that Die set & love using it.
So now I can use the background with my Dies . Thank you so much for your inspiration.
Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx
Hi Sue, so not my style but I do like the techniques you have used. The background reminds me of your faux leather but much quicker to do and I love the effect of alcohol inks on mirror card and I must try as I have lots of both :-)
ReplyDeleteMichele (Crafty Coffey) - congratulations on being this week's Wednesday winner, a lovely tribute to your mum.
Frances
Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and techniques. I really liked the look of devilment on your face when you scrunched the card up, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Crafty Coffey.
Best wishes
This is an interesting card that could be a great man's card which we are always wringing our hands over so kudos Sue for branching out.

I Watched This Particular Video Quite Recently I Loved It First Time Around So It Was Great To See It
Have It’s Day On This Terrific Blog.
I Love The Magnificent Background Where You Used A Piece Of Tan Card, Which You Crumbled Up
Then Once You Had Straightened A Little (Although Still Had Lots Of Creases Etc:-) You Went Over The Top
Using Walnut Stain Oxide Distress Ink Going Over The Card Straight From The Pad, Then You Spritzted
With A Little Water Add More Distress Ink If You Require, You Dried This With A Heat Tool.
Sue Next You Used A Pair Of Scissors To Distress All Four Sides Of Your Background (You Mentioned Even
Tear A Little If You Wish) Then You Added More Walnut Stain Oxide Distress Ink Around The Edges Of Your
Background, You Dried Once Again Then Attached This To Your Card With Your Famous/Signature/Piercing
Even This Particular Card You Had Distressed The Edges With Scissors So It Blends In.
Sue, Then You Cut Out Quite A Number Of The Industrial Chic Corner (In My Opinion This Is A Exceptional Cutting Die)
You Also Cut Out Two In Silver Mirror Card, Once You Had Layered Them Up With The Silver Mirror Foundation Card
On Top (Looks Stunning) You Then Brought Out Your Alcohol Inks Caramel/Expresso/Stream Also The Rangers
Dabber To Apply The Alcohol Inks, Plus A Bottle Of Blending Solution You Started To Apply Your Magnificent
Alcohol Inks, Adding More Of Different Colours If Needed Taking Some Away If You Wished With The Blending Ink.
Once Dry You Applied Glue To The Back Also A Touch Of Spray Glue, You Placed One Corner Onto Your Background
Then One In The Opposite Corner, You Then Attached This To Your Base Card Using Mounting Foam.
Sue, You Cut Out Three Of The Word CREATE Using Brown Foundation Card Then With Your Finger You
Applied Cosmic Shimmer Lacquer To Add A Rich Shine To The Word CREATE You Added Glue To This Then Placed
This In The Middle Of Your Card You Said We Could Add More Cosmic Shimmer Lacquer If We Required Then You Cut
Out A Selection Of Bolts/Srews/Nuts From Brown Card You Aged Them Slightly Using Tim Holtz Broken China
Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink, To Create A Rusty Look You Placed These Here/There On Your Background.
Card Size 6 3/4 x 8 1/2 Inches
Today’s Card Is A Masterpiece I Love The Stupendous Techniques The Corners Just Look Phenomenal
Sue, Yes I’m Going To Say It Again Thank You For The Inspiration I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do
Take Great Care My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Extremely Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗

This may not be to everyone's taste, especially for those who prefer your more traditional cards and I might have put myself in that group at one time.
ReplyDeleteNow? I think this is fabulous. Love the design and the techniques used.

Looking forward to seeing how you made this background.
ReplyDeleteFantastic card sue. Great man card. Laura O Springfield
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteThe background, the dies and the gorgeous colours you created all combine to make this fabulous card!
I really love the finished effect!
Lesley S x
Fabulous card and great video. I didn't think Industrial Chic and grunge cards were for me until you brought us this die and I just had to have it. It's great for male cards teamed with your Ransom Note Happy Birthday die. I don't have any alcohol inks but I'm wondering whether alcohol markers might work with mirri-card. Love the way you've made the background.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Crafty Coffey on your win.
Take care everyone.
Super card Sue. Not my usual style but I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's Mothers day in the UK today so Happy Mothers Day to all the Mums out there. Congratulations to this weeks card winner.
I think I will try the scrunched background on a Thank you card for one of my Grandsons who is an electrical engineer. He brought my beautiful Gemini back to me all fixed up and ready to go. He said I had burned out some of the parts in the motor.
Hugs to all.
