Mr Handsome DL sized cards for 13 Arts

 

Hello, 13 Arts fans! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my latest creation for 13 Arts! 

Today we are doing a group posting of projects created with the new Mr Handsome collection. 

I've been loving the DL sized slim cards for quite some time now. I finally found a DL sized die from Pink Fresh that has the stitching detail on them! Bought those puppies SO fast, you wouldn't believe it! 

I had planned to do a layout for the Mr Handsome post but I was also wanting to experiment with my new dies, so cards it is! One with mixed media, the other a little more CAS. 

I used one of the new Mr Handsome stencils along with modeling paste and highlighted it with Navy blue Water Ink. A bit of stamping of course! Then I dove into creating a WOW focal point with my papers and some embellishments, ie, flowers, chipboard, a metal pen nib and microbeads. 

To alter the chipboard gears, I used the 13 Arts Rusty Bronze powder applied with gel medium. Then I activated it with the Reagent. After they were good and dry, I added my florals and then the gears. For more oomph, I added more Rusty Bronze along with Reagent for a good rusting vibe. When everything was dry, I added some brown microbeads and a jute bow. 

On my second card, I decided to go a bit more simple although I did also do some stamping on this one as I did the first card. Other than that, no mixed media except to alter the florals. 

This was a matter of layering some the ephemera elements, adding the florals and a metal clock face. 

To make the cards a bit more cohesive, I added some rusting materials to these flowers as well and gave them a sprinkling of the brown microbeads. 

My man has gotten accustomed to seeing flowers on his cards, so we are all good there! 

Here are a few of the materials that I've used for this project. Everything is 13 Arts except for the 49 and Market flowers. 

Thanks so much for coming by today! 

I certainly appreciate your visit!
