You Are a Classic

Happy Friday and Welcome!

Today's card is a simple one using and old pair of jeans and my Gel Plate.

A good masculine card to have on hand.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock first and got out my Gel Plate.
• I pressed some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink onto my Gel Plate and using a brayer, I smoothed it all out on the plate. 
• Next, I took an old pair of my husband's jeans and pressed them onto the plate to transfer the details of the pants.
• I lifted the pants off and took my white cardstock and rubbed over my plate to take the print.
• When the piece was dry, I stamped the sentiment into the corner.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• To finish the card off, I added 5 silver gems under the sentiment.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Today's card was such a fun one to create and I was very pleased with the result that were easy to achieve.

I made this card for my son Adam, using an old pair of my husband's jeans....YES, you read that right....not designer paper but made using jeans.

He loved the card!

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by getting out my Gel Plate, brayer, the old pair of jeans and some cardstock.
• I pressed my Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto my Gel Plate and used my brayer to smooth and spread it out.
• Next, I took the pocket portion of the jeans and pressed that onto my Gel Plate.  
• I removed the jeans, set aside and pressed my cardstock, rubbing over the plate to transfer the print.  I was very pleased with the results, the texture it picked up was amazing!
• I cut it down to a 4 3/4" square and set aside.
• I had a piece leftover that I had after I cut the panel down and used that to stamp the sentiment onto.  
• I cut a small slit in the pocket, then slid the sentiment strip into the pocket.  I popped the banner strip up at the edge using some foam tape.
• Finally, I glued it onto a 5" square card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
