Beautiful moments

Happy Monday,
Welcome to a new challenge at Ally's Angels and once again the theme is anything goes. 
I have made this card for a friend. 

I wanted to use this photo from Tim Holtz idea-ology found relatives and also one from the photo booth package. I have had them for a while and thought it was time using them. The photo is followed by a panel of sanded black kraft and I have used the tiny attacher to staple them together, just because I love the look of staples. The tiny masquerade masks are die cut in champaigne metallic kraft and painted with black sooth distress crayon. The lace is die cut using the chrochet die and black kraft and then sanded. I also die cut arrows from the artful arrow die in silver metallic kraft and as I wanted the arrows a bit thicker I die cut them in chipboard as well and glued them together before sanding them and painting them with black sooth, gathered twigs and antiqued bronze distress crayons.

I die cut the file tab in kraft and glued a sticker from idea-ology big chat to it and used black sooth distress crayon and blended out with my fingertip. My background is made of silver metallic kraft. I sprayed a little bit of water on the kraft before running it through my cuttlebug three times using the 3D folder mechanics, so the paper wouldn't break. I then sanded it and ran it through my cuttlebug once again and then used black soot, gathered twigs and antiqued bronze distress crayons to paint it.

I die cut the big tag in champaigne metallic kraft. The tag is sanded and painted using black sooth and gathered twigs distress crayon. I made a hole on the upper left side of the brown base so I could get the linen ribbon through and wrap it around the front of my card. Made a knot and used a jump ring so I could hang the swivel clasp and the typed token from the ribbon.

To create the row of numbers on top of my card I die cut the number die from the Tim Holtz mixed media 6 die set in 300g watercolor paper to create a stencil. I then used grit paste through the stencil and let dry completely before using black sooth, gathered twigs and antiqued bronze distress crayons to paint them. I sprayed with some water and used my fingertip to blend out.

The filmstrip is stapled in place using the tiny attacher and I die cut the big masquerade mask in champaigne metallic kraft and run it through my cuttlebug together with the 3D impresslits mechanics before sanding and painting it with black sooth and gathered twigs distress crayons. Behind the mask I have a piece of embossed black cardstock. To create this I have used frayed burlap distress embossing powder and the lace background stamp from Tim Holtz. I then cut small pieces to put behind the mask and used 3D tape for depth. I sanded the edges of the quote chip and used black sooth and gathered twigs distress crayons and then glued the arrow with two hardware heads onto the quote chip. Down at the right hand side I added two number clips, you can see them on the first photo above.

Behind my background I have a panel of black kraft with sanded edges followed by sanded silver metallic kraft followed by my base which is a brown cardstock folded to create the inside of my card.

Thanks for stopping by
