Clock Work

We've all had a great time with this month's Industrial challenge and it seems as though you have too! 

Jennie here today sharing my second project and the last DT project for this month.

I had fun with both real and chipboard clock parts using the Tim Holtz Clock Dies which I have had for ages and always love using. Do please join me on my blog if you would like to find out how I created it!

And talking of moving forward you only have two more days to join us in the challenge this month - the clock is ticking towards the new month when we will have another new challenge for you. 

Have a great crafting day!

Industrial Birds

Hi, it's Sue here, Happy Easter everyone. It's my turn to show you my second Industrial piece today, and I've gone for a PaperArtsy/Deco Arts/ Tim Holtz combo.

It's been ages since I've used these stamps so it was fun to revisit them. Further details can be found here on my blog. Thanks very much for looking, and enjoy the Bank Holiday. Will it rain - of course it will lol x

Industrial Chic?

Hi it's Brenda here and I am using canvas board today to create my second sample for our Industrial challenge (Find the quick link on the side panel if you would like to be transported there). I wanted to make something slightly different and as I like contrasts in my work I thought I would see what a shabby coloured background would look like with industrial, aged and time worn elements to embellish it.

Although I love the creation in real life the metallics I have used have made it difficult to take a decent photograph so you're really not seeing the best of it. But there's definitely a distinct contrast in the shabby and time worn colours so I guess it could be called industrial chic, what do you think?

As always there are more photos over on my blog, it would be lovely if you could come and visit at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

Have a great week.

Industrial Easter Bunny

I am loving this month's theme of "Industrial" and found myself wondering what the Easter Bunny would look like if they were given a little make over - after all Easter is just round the corner! So here is my take on an industrial rabbit! Lots of metal tape, embossing folders and paint techniques were used! Hope you like him (or is the Easter Bunny a girl?!) As always, there is more on my blog.  Gabrielle x

Monika

Hello there, it's Monika here with the second piece of our March challenge: INDUSTRIAL.

I like funny and cute things so I wanted to approach our industrial theme from these aspects.

And I think Tim Holtz stamps were just perfect to reach my goal. 

I hope you like it and if you want to know more, please visit my blog.

Woo hoo - It's our Birthday

Hi Everyone and welcome to our special birthday challenge. We start with an amazing theme from Debs who has chosen 'Industrial' for us to focus on, so we are looking for industrial images, embossing folder textures, something mechanical, metallic colours with cogs and wheels, robots or something normal made to look metallic/industrial.

Debs

Hi everyone, Debs back, and im sharing a very grungy tag with you. It was a good opportunity to get out the gears makes some flowers and stick it all together with black thick grease (metaphorically speaking). My inspiration? Thoughts of a bygone age when industry was established and man was attempting to mechanicalize everything. Have fun! You can see how this come together here.

Gabrielle

I had lots of fun creating my mechanical heart for this month's Industrial theme. Lots of die cuts, alcohol inks and paints were used! Can't remember the last time I used my alcohol inks so thank you Debs for choosing this theme! More, as always, on my blog. Gabrielle x

Doreen

Wow this was a bit of a hard one for me, I wasn't sure what do do for Industrial so I really hope you like my first make. More details on my blog.

Monika

For our March challenge I made a boyish card using robot stamps, gears and metal embossing folder  to reach an industrial effect. If you want to know more about the supplies, please jump to my blog.

Rachel

Hello there - Rachel here with my first make for the theme Industrial - I had such fun making this Debs - thanks for the challenge! You can find out how I did it on my blog here.

Nikki

When I did my version of Tim Holtz's January tag I made a mental note to try a similar idea for a birthday card! Do pop over to Addicted to Art to see the details and a second version.

Jennie

I am having great fun working with these slim pieces of greyboard and this piece was just perfect to try out some wonderful industrial techniques learnt at a recent workshop with Andy Skinner. Do join me over on my blog if you would like to see some more details.

Sue


Good morning it's Sue here with my first 'Industrial' piece. Living in the North of England our industry has always been coal mining, and this stamp reminds me of pit head winding gear which is now sadly no longer around.

Full details can be found here on my blog x

Brenda

I've a really quirky project for you this month, my inspiration was an old rusty camera but as the project grew, ideas changed and new bits and pieces got added. It definitely has an old and weathered look and the real thing would have been manufactured in a factory.  I have called this 'Through the Lens of Time'.

********************

So it's over to you now, create your project and link it below and let's see who wins the birthday voucher from Susan this month. To celebrate a bit more there will be an extra special prize and activity coming up for the beginning of April so stay tuned.  And don't forget to come back throughout March for more inspiration - including our January winner Karen of Karen's Crafting Obsessions who will be Guest Designing for us later this month.
