Grunge .....

A handmade Birthday card with a grungy collage style ....

I started with a 6 x 6 inch white cardblank. I then die-cut a frame in green card.

I set about making the collaged insert. I started with a piece of printed paper with letters in red, green & orange and die-cut a piece of this.  I selected a range of Lynne Perrella & Dyan Reaveley stamps and stamped using Memento inks in a random manner.

The three women were stamped again in black ink onto white card. The cheeks were coloured in red Posca pen. These were trimmed out ready to be layered over the original stamped image.

White acrylic paint was spattered over the  square and when dry some black Posca was added to highlight some letters.

The edges of the square were treaded with Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder .... setting with the heat gun. The green frame was applied centrally on the card base on foam pads and the decorated square stuck in place within the frame.

I then layered the womens faces were layered on foam pads and two metal cogs added with Glossy Accents.

The 'Happy Birthday' (Happy Little Stampers) was stamped in Versafine black on white card and this was trimmed and layered over a piece of orange card which was also trimmed to leave a border. This was added on foam pads as shown to finish.
