Now this really threw me and it took some time
before I decided how to create my card.
I took my inspiration from all the colours in the background
and decided to do some embossing and sponging.
I have used basic card stock here.
The embossing folder is another newbie from
the craft show - so too the little cogs.
I did come home with some great new craft items
and making good use of them too.
The embossing folder is Kaisercraft
as is the first sentiment die.
Cogs are Craft Emotions.
The other 2 sentiments were hand cut and
are from Inspired by Stamping.
I used various coloured distress inks and
added a touch of colour blast paste
to give the gold effect.
As always it would be great if you pop over to
Our Blog to see how Sue's photo
inspired our Guest Carol Mayne and
my super talented Team Mates.
Hope you get the chance to play and
you could be chosen as our
Chic of the Week going on to be
Our Guest in September.
Thanks for dropping in.
I love reading your comments too.

Your cog panel looks amazing, Ina! Love the burst of gold on it too! Such a fabulous card!
WOW! Your gears/cogs image is amazing; fabulous colours and layout! Talk about a unique, inspired take on the image that also had me stumped for a while! Once again, thrilled to be playing in this challenge with you and the rest of the team! Thank you!

Cool card design. You really captured the colors of the inspirational photo!
Oh Boy, Ina! I love this bold and bright masculine design. It is sublime. A winner in my book.
You took a difficult photo and made it your own! Love your card and especially the broken up sentiment!
Oh my gee, I just love what you have done with this challenge. That embossing folder is awesome, love all the texture and the colors are fantastic. And then the black as the card base really sets off those bright colors. I really, really like this card!!!!!
What an amazing design! I love that embossed panel with the awesome sponging and the little cogs. I really like the direction you went with this challenge.
Love how the sponging 3D's the embossed gears -- great masculine card~
