Masculine Make for Fiskars

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are fine. We are certainly hurtling headlong towards Christmas now aren't we? It was our village ladies Christmas do last night - at a local pub - it was all very nice - I did enjoy myself. We were supposed to be out again tonight but that has sadly had to be cancelled. Still it does mean that we get to watch the strictly final so its not all bad!!!

When I was a guest designer for Fiskars I made a masculine card. I haven't seen it on their page yet so I'm not sure if I should be blogging it - but I am afraid I will forget it if I don't - and I really like it!!!


I made the background using the Fiskars big star mixed media punch plus some textured surfaces from Tim Holtz. I also used a cog stencil and some texture paste.


Once dry I added some raven black paint from indigoblu all over the card and when dry I highlighted parts with blue gilding wax. The topper is a stamp from Tim Holtz.

I do hope you have a good saturday.

Big hugs
