- The stamps that I have used from the All Geared up collection are HCPC 3637 - All Geared Up Background, I have of course used the fab Cogs and Sprocket dies. and the All Geared Up paper collection.
- I created the base card with some brown card stock.
- I have cut out the panel from the scrapbook layout which is in paper collection and stamped the image using some brown ink.
- I have used some brown twine and adhered it around the image using Cosmic Shimmer glue
- Next I die cut out the red tag and the 'Live for the Moment ticket using the dies from the Celebrate the Journey Collection and adhered them to the card.
- I have created a cluster with the cogs, sprockets and leaves. I have used some silver Miri Card which I have then sanded them down a little and used some Tea Die ink to give them a rust effect. I have then die cut out some using some green card and some of the green patterned paper from the paper collection. I have also added a few to the top right of the sentiment tag.
- Next I have cut out the red ribbon from the same layout page and added these to the cluster.
- Finally I have die cut out some of the chain links and linked 3 of them together by cutting one side and slipping through anther and gluing where you have cut. I have also sanded these down and used Tea die distress ink to give them a rust effect. I have then adhered them to the sentiment.
I will be back tomorrow sharing another card and also I think its time for another blog giveaway:)

ReplyDeleteHi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteLove this card and the new collection. So great to be able to make something for the men and not too feminine still with the flowers like cogs. Could you tell me what the blue cardstock you used for the Wishing you Sunny Day card please? I hope to hear from you soon. Love, Ivy xx
By the way Nikki,
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself.
Love,

Hi Nikki, glad to hear your family persuaded you to take a break and even more pleased that you listened to them, I know from past experience myself how easy it is to get carried away with work without realising what a toll it is taking on your health. Today's card is lovely I do like this latest set but not sure yet whether I'll be buying it, well not just yet anyway. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki

ReplyDeletelove the card and the colour tones and the stamp, yes, just love it all x
ReplyDeleteI have missed your posts, but it's not good to spread yourself too thin. All too easy when your doing something you love - it's hard to turn things down. Lovely card - not too macho! This looks like a fantastic collection.
ReplyDeleteHi, pleased you have had a rest, look after yourself.
ReplyDeleteReally like the steampunk its a great change, love the mirror card cogs. Xx
Hi Nikki. Beautiful. Do you remember when you emailed me just as you started your blog ? What advice did I give ? Enjoy your blog, enjoy your crafting, but remember your health and family or you'll end up feeling too off colour to enjoy both your family and your craft !
ReplyDeletePlease take care Nikki, we value your inspiration too much to lose it again.
So glad you are feeling better now.
Hugs.
