Good Sunday morning. My masculine vintage project is a little out of my wheelhouse but I had fun putting it together. I have had the Impression Obsession Pocket Watch and It’s About Time sets for a while but haven’t used it. I need a masculine card and thought the watch paired with images from the Border, Label, Medallion and Key and paper from the Botanical Tea Patterns and Solids.
I started by stamping the watch face on vanilla cardstock using versa and embossing with gold embossing powder. I then applied versa to a piece of scrap cardstock, heat embossed with gold powder and cut out all the die pieces. I attached the watch to the face with mounting tape and braided strands of metallic gold twine to create the fob chain.
I crimped the blue paper and layered with vanilla to create a contrast piece for the patterned paper and attached to the card base with mounting tape. I thought the medallion made a nice fob for the chain and the key was a third element to add interest to the card. Every time I make a card with lots of gold embossing I want to kick myself because they are so hard to get good photographs. I have a short memory. LOL!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”
Good afternoon, Kittie; Happy Sunday, This is a super masculine card. I love the pocket watch an on my wish list. the gold showed up well.not to worry. It was a perfect accent on the watch, love the chain you made, and the added key. Just a lovely card . A keeper….have a good week-end…..LOL
Another stunner Kittie. I just love how your details like the crimped paper, gold metallic thread for the chain and the key added so much to your card. You are so full of wonderous ideas.
This is so awesome Kittie.
This is an amazing and elegant masculine card. I love the pocket watch. The chain you braided is the perfect embellishment. The blue and gold make the card elegant. I think the gold showed up beautifully in your photos, nothing to worry about there. Pocket watch images are perfect for my husband, he collects pocket watches and clocks, I enjoy them too. The blue and gold colour combination gives me a different set of colours to work with. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, inspiring card today.
