How are you? It's been very sunny here over the last few days - we've seen none, or very little of the freezing fog I hear has shut down several airports - one of which is about 20 minutes drive from here! Here the sky is as blue and clear as can be! However it is mighty cold, and I'm quite happy to be staying indoors! I hope you are managing to stay nice and toasty today too.
I've gone a little bit 'industrial' for this week's Sketch File card, The little bag of metal cogs Hubby added to a Christmas box of crafty bits have been desperate to come out and play, so this week I gave in.
Info
Kraft card stencilled in reddish-brown colour
Cogs stencil added using Dark Brown ink
Circle and Lines stencil in black for two of the lines from the sketch
The third line is created with a string of beads, coloured with Alcohol Inks, and fixed in place with screw head brads
A lever was created with a metal photo turn and a metallic red star brad, which adds a pop of colour
Thu metal cogs were used to echo the three circles on the LO
Here's the sketch

Fabulous card Kathy, I always love the way you use stencils, something I've never got to grips with. No fog today but very icy roads and pavements, not much fun on the school run. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Kathy and a departure from your usual style. The background is perfect and the cogs tie in beautifully x
ReplyDeleteGreat layout and color
ReplyDeleteFab masculine take on the sketch Kathy, love the little pop of red with the rusty neutrals!
