Nailed It

The new Occasions catalogue will be here soon.  Today I made a Twist and Pop card which high lights the new Masculine stamp set "Nailed It"  It reminds me so much of an older stamp set which has a been a favourite of mine for years "Tool Time".  Remember that one?

I did incorporate some images from that retired stamp set into this card.

For the background of the art pieces the smaller images (nails, screws, etc) were stamped randomly using Basic Gray ink. The Timeless Texture stamp set was used as well.  I just love that set!! All edges were sponged with Basic Gray ink.

The images were coloured with markers and then cut out and placed where I wanted them on.

A belly band was used to keep the card closed.  A real screw and bolt  was used as an embellishment on this band.

Tool Time Retirement - Technostamper #223

Hope everyone in Canada is having a wonderful holiday weekend.  The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and so hot I've even had to put the air conditioning on.  I think this is the earliest I have ever had to do that.
Like some of you I have been a bit distracted of late trying to get my gardening done and getting ready for market which starts tomorrow. As a result I haven't been blogging as much as I usually do, but hopefully that will change as I adjust to my new schedule.

Today's card is for the Monday Lunchtime Technostamper Sketch challenge here. 
I wanted to make a masculine card because that is the theme for the challenge with the LNS group and I am on their design team (although I don't post until Saturday).  Most of my cards this week will have a masculine flavour as they are very popular at market.

The stamp set "Tool Time" is retiring, as is the designer paper "Well Worn", so again, I am making this a retirement card.

Each tool was stamped using Black Stazon ink and colored with markers.  The metallic portions of the tools was painted with Platinum all purpose ink.  The tools were then cut out and mounted on a piece of crumb cake card stock embossed with the polka dot embossing folder - to mimic a peg board.

Here's the sketch:
