Grungy Masculine Card

Hello friends!
This is Jaya here. Hope you all are enjoying the current challenge at Lulupu #36- Make It Macho hosted by our very talented DT Deepti. This is the perfect week to jump in and participate in the Lulupu challenge this fortnight as we have for you the Masculine Challenge!
All we want you to do is make a masculine card or a tag and use distress inks as main products in your project.

 

 Here is my card for the challenge. Hope you will like it. It's grungy and distressed with lots and lots of layering and ink splatters!

 

 I have done a lot of layering and distressing in this card to give it the grungy look. I also used distress inks in black soot, vintage photo and walnut stain  to achieve the really vintage/old look to the card did a lot of doodling /free hand sketching on my papers to add details and interest.

 

 

 

 I also did stencilling using Prima Marketing stencil - Crackle , Tim Holtz stencil- Measured and Rangers Walnut stain distress ink. The papers are all Prima marketing, old and new collections. I also used my very favourite and versatile Prima Comfort craft distress tool. This is a must have product. It can distress almost anything in your sight!!

Hope you all like my card and it inspires you to make one yourself. There is still some time left to get your entries in the current challenge so if you haven't yet started it not late! Get you papers and distress inks out and make something Masculine! We love to see your gorgeous creations!

Card for Father

Hello Everyone, 

Shilpa here,

Deepti has set a challenge for this fortnight to make cards/ tags for the men in our life....

And when she asks us to use distress inks, it is a perfect combo.

I made a card for my father, whose birthday falls in this month. He is all into machines and mechanisms. With this in my thoughts....I came out with a very grungy, distressed Card

I started off with  white card stock. 

I applied three of my favourite distress ink colors - broken china, vintage photo and black soot. I stamped the edges with Kaisercraft texture stamps and Ranger black Archival inks.  Second layer is, piece of green jute paper also distressed to match the background. I attached stamped clock, one you can see that behind..

For this panel, I took ruled paper from Crate paper pad, stamped text and texture, added distressed washi tape. Gears are die cuts, and Key is a metal charm, colored with distress stains and inks.

I love to use distress inks in my projects. You can find lot of techniques by Tim Holtz with distress inks on you tube and on his blog, he is genius.

Lulupu has got all the colors in distress inks...the new crafters can try Distress Minis.. which has other benefits with basic distress techniques.

Looking forward which of the Tim's Distress Ink technique you use. For Lulupu
