To create this card I sponged the background, then used the stencil to apply silver embossing paste. Did you know embossing paste comes in more than white & clear? After it was dry I cut it out with my stitched rectangle die and sponged the edges to give the card a more distressed look.
Stamps: Celebrate (Simon Says Stamp)
Ink: Chipped Sapphire, Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky, Gathered Twigs, Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass (Distress); Early Espresso (Stampin' UP!)

p.s. Check out what I found at Ellen Hutson... another set of gears by Tim Holtz called Sprocket Gears! Oh yes, they have been added to my cart. ;) Hubby's birthday is just around the corner. :)

This card is the ultimate masculine card. I just love the colour choices, and the added crank thingy from T H. I have a so many of these that I hoard as well.....That is what we craft peeps call..."hiding stuff for a rainy day", but it never seems to rain in my craft room, so I keep hoarding stuff...hahaha Your cards are always amazing Heather. I get inspired every time I see your work.
Love that great silver embossing paste! Really pretty with the blue inking.
