Fulfilling a Challenge!!!!

Although it wasn't particularly a challenge as such, Paul from Crafty Blogocks, thought it might be challenging for me to create a masculine style Tote.

Well I think I have done it.................

I changed the handle. Rather than curved I made it chunky and angular. If you like this style I'm working on the details of how to make it and I'll post them as soon as it is done.

I really like this big screw detail, it was made using 2 circles punched from card, one cut in half and trimmed slightly and the other left, both were then distressed, inked then 3Ded.

This is definitely my Husbands style, "Grease Monkey" and wouldn't look out of place on his work bench.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the dimpled effect on the metallic card stock.

I heat embossed the background box card, and used lots of black ink wiped and sponged to give a real metal workshop look.

I started this post at 11.36 this morning and with all the interruptions have only just finished it.

Hope you like

PS: I'm having a break from 3D papercraft and am going to make some cards to post. Getting in some practise for my new venture as a Design Team Member, although, as a twist i might bring more regular 3D projects to the House of Sugar.

See you Soon
