All Geared Up

Posted on February 18, 2019 by

I always find it difficult to make cards for guys, so I love that I have this stamp set to use. Since the large gear die cut was going to be mostly covered up, I cut them apart and made two cards out of them. I also cut a couple of single gears to add to the design. I also tried a couple of different backgrounds on the Crumb Cake paper. One uses the Crackle Paint stamp and the other the Stripes embossing folder with some Crumb Cake ink applied.

All Geared Up

Ink: Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Black, Versamark
