Gina's Designs Artist Trading Project

Happy Weekend !!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  We started our weekend out with a 10am showing of Tony Stark (gotta love me some IronMan!)  and then I did yard work (insert sad face).  No really, needed to be done and now more is done and I feel better.  My mother tells me each time we talk how much yard work she has done and puts me to shame (she is in her 70's!) so I had to get out there and mow, rake, and feed the lawn).   But I do have a project for you today.  

I have seen Artist Trading card and have dabbled with some smaller tags/items but never really focus on these.  But Gina brought out these adorable little artist trading boxes and so of course I had to give it a go. I mean what is a box without the cards, right?  So I decorated the clock box, painted and sanded it and added some clock parts to give it depth.   

So here is my take on a couple of Artist Trading cards, put together with LOTS of Gina's Designs chipboard pieces.  The butterfly on the left is painted and covered in glass effects.  The sprockets and key are all painted different colors and then I added some glass drops for texture on this one.  I think that they turned out quite well and fit in the box as you can see in the top photo- so a box of Artist Trading Cards!

Steampunk it!

I so wish that I was better at taking photos and cropping them, all the lighting exactly right because this box is so cool. It is a recylced cigar box- it was already black so that was perfect. I wanted to make something for my son for his birthday and thought this might be a nice project. Stamp N Show wanted a steampunk project, and this is mine. Kind of eclectic but my main focus was on travel and airplanes, since my son is in an aviation program. Not sure if he will use the box but.... hopefully. Come and join us I am soooo loving these projects.
