Geared Up-Birthday Card

My little brother's birthday is coming up, so I decided to make him steampunk/industrial theme birthday card. Although, he's not too familiar with the genre. It's okay he likes big sister's homemade gifts...he's sweet that way. This was a quick, easy and fun project. I rarely make cards. I had a handful of card stock paper of various colors that I had for while, for just in case situation.

How it's made

I used card stock paper, painted the chipboard gears in black then metallic paint. The gears are from Creative Embellishments. For the words, I printed them from my computer. The faux rivet, are metal iron-on studs, used in sewing. I simply ripped out the opening and used a backing to hold the gears. The backing has been painted with Golden Sepia paint. The entire piece has been treated with Ranger Vintage Photo ink and tinge of metallic mist.



I am submitting this project to the following Challenges:
Sandee and Amelie Steampunk Challenge - New Stash/Forgotten Stash - February 2017
Country View - 30 Minute and Under Challenge - February 2017
Love to Create - Anything Goes - February 2017
