Birthday Bot - Distressing challenge at OSAAT

OSAAT November Prize Pack

This fortnight at One Stitch at a Time (OSAAT), our theme is Anything Goes with Distressing. I always love the sound of that theme, ha! Ink or paper distressing is welcome. StitchyBear's Digi Outlet has hundreds of digital products from many wonderful artists. Even if you don't use a store image, you'll still be in the drawing to win the super-duper November prize pack.

I used Lovebot by Alipeeps Art to make this gear-filled card. I printed the image on a shiny white paper and colored it with Copics and gel pens. I cut it out with a circle die and distressed the edges with a gold ink. 

The large gears were cut with a Sizzix die, in white and in copper. I colored the white piece with a gold leaf pen. Both gears are painted with Distress Crackle Paint. Both gears turn, the gold with a hidden brad, and the copper with a decorative brad.

The copper gear on the robot piece is a metal embellishment, and the silver gears were cut with a Memory Box die.

Inspiration/Challenges:

Cardz 4 Guyz #42: Use Some Metal (metal gears & brad)

Camel notch swing card - Coosty Creations + Alipeeps Art

Here's a card I made a while back featuring the Camel Cool digi stamp by Alipeeps' Art and the Camel Digital Stamp Pack by Coosty Creations. Both are available at StitchyBear's Digi Outlet.

My mom lived in the Middle East when she was growing up, so I made her this card. Here's the other side of the swing insert, a photo of my mom and her parents. Hope you don't mind, Mom!

This notch swing card was designed in Sure Cut A Lot (SCAL) and cut with my Silhouette electronic die-cutting machine. All of my Notch Swing Cards are archived here. If you'd like to try it yourself, a version of this card design is now available for purchase as SVG files for your die-cutting machine in the SaySomethingLoudly Etsy Shop. Thank you for supporting my crafting!
