Birthday Card Guys Will Like, Too

I wanted to take advantage of the 'Fall' colours but not make something 'seasonal' because I don't really have a demand for Halloween or Thanksgiving-themed cards.
Here is my take on a neutral card using the beautiful umbers,bronze,copper, and pumpkin families.

What was involved?
Cardstock -WAMK pumpkin 12" square folded in quarters
Mosaic - I used the NEGATIVE from a gold 'Peel-Offs' design.  While it was still on the backing paper, I stamped it with moss green Studio G ink and then used Melt Art (Suze Weinberg)Ultra Thick Embossing  Enamel to give it the glossy and burnished look.  I totally LOVE how it turned out.

Sentiment and border decals (Peel-Offs).
Butterfly embellishment - plain chipboard (punched), butterfly stamp(taken from larger Inkadinkado stamp and applied with Black StazOn. Butterfly coloured with Faber-Castell PITT artist pen big brush (Dark Naples ochre) and gold PITT artist pen.
I used the same embossing powder (3 dips). Edges of chip board are accented with Tsukineko Brilliance Pigment Ink (Cosmic Copper).
Tape is 7 Gypsies.
Corner punch - Martha Stewart
Chalks and Rangers Distress Ink to shade the card stock.

I hope you like my latest creation!

Embossing Stickers and Chip Board

A few experiments going on in the Decorables Studio today.  Here's a few pictures and once I perfect the process and finish the projects I will happily do a tutorial.

But I WILL tell you that the outside of the wheel is the motor of a hard drive :)

Stay tuned!

Hard Drive Art!

I'm taking a bit of a detour today because something piqued my interest when hubby Sid showed me the inside of a hard drive.  


I immediately knew that I would need a screwdriver because when I looked at the circuit board and plate I saw some beautiful parts.
I was intrigued by the gorgeous orange-copper wires, red rust motor...


So here are the preliminary photos before I 'go to town' on them.

Any ideas?  I already have a few swirling around in my head..

Let me know what comes to YOUR mind!
