I had an idea in mind, and set about assembling my die cuts, as per Christine's instructions:
It was then a matter of working through the various processes, adding the paint layers, and stamping to get the final look.
The stamping isn't perfect, but then looking at the magazine pieces, it's not meant to be. It is very difficult on multi-layered items to manage perfection! It adds to the distressed, worn feel of the whole thing.
We are off to see my FIL later today, he doesn't really appreciate handmade cards, but I know that I've taken a lot of care over this one, so I guess that's what matters! Anyway, I hope you are having a great weekend, thanks for stopping by, xx

This is fantastic Judith (great to see a project that has been inspired from the magazine, it's been a long time since you've done that), it looked great before you added the colour and stamping. But even better afterwards, I know that my FIL would love it.

Very striking with the stamping & colouring added - it's hard to think it's the same piece of card stock.
Hope you have a good visit.

I thought that project was brilliant in the mag and I am not suprised you felt inspired to have a go straight away. I really love waht you have done, you've put your own style and design into this one and it's really great. I hope it is appreciated for all the effort. Elaine xxx
It looks fantastic, am sure he appreciates the cards you make him in his own way

I loved this technique too and it's the only article I've managed to read through so far in this month's mag. You've done a fabulous job with this masculine card Judith and I may have to 'borrow' your idea as I have several male birthdays coming up over the next couple of months.

Wow, this is amazing, perfect for a masculine card. I bet he did appreciate this one, if he had no idea how long it took to make it, looks great!
