Again I coloured it with my copics and cut out the man so that I could pop it up a bit. The background is done with Tim Holtz distress inks, Bundled Sage, Walnut Stain and Stormy Sky.

The little sign and the stamp at the bottom were both in the same set. On the inside I found a digi stamp with a funny saying about fishing, and used the same distress inks to colour it.

Very simple but it seems to work for me.

I have been seeing people put Faux metal onto there cards for some time now and kept thinking how good it looked. Well while looking in the Stationary Warehouse I stumbled upon the very embossing folder to make my own. I then hunted down some foil paper and it all arrived just in time to make this card for Josephs Birthday on Sunday.

I am very happy with how this one turned out, the embossing folder is a cuttlebug one called Diamond Plate, which I used on Spellbinders foil paper in metal tones. The cogs are also cut out of the foil paper and are a combination of Tim Holtz mini cogs and Stampin Up cog punch.

The whole thing was mounted onto black cardstock, so I added silver cardstock with some black cogs to decorate. Unfortunately I have managed to take the photo upside down and I dont know how to flip it from here. But still you get the idea, you just need to stand on your head.
