ISMAKI has a new look, new DT and new format! This week it is Béatrice Katzele's sketch for us to play with, and the option is Metal.
I have gone for a "male" card, with a grunge look.
The main stamp is from Tim Holtz, and I used Scattered Straw, Faded Jeans and Brushed Coduroy Distress Inks to colour the backgrounds. On the main background, I have stamped using the Dream stamp by Stampers Anonymous.,and another random stamp.
The metal strips have been embossed in the Cuttlebug, and coloured with Denim Alcohol Ink.
The bird came from the bottom of drawer!

Thank you for looking and for your kind comments

Another week, another ISMAKI challenge! This week I decided not to do a "cute" card.

I used K&Company recycled papers, PaperArtsy stamps, and the background music stamp is from Best Rubber Stamps (South African company). I also used Grungeboard Plain Elements coloured with Ranger Archival Ink Sepia (as the all the stamping is as well). There is Adirondak Red Pepper for the stamp background.

Thank you for looking, and for your kind comments.
