NBUS Geared Greetings

Welcome 

I needed a masculine card in a hurry last week, as I was late in getting it into the post..,blame the good weather we have been having and the gardens that required weeding ...


I broke out my mew Memory Box Steampunk Cogs Die, and cut that die, and another few cogs from a (new) Cheery Lynn set out of a bronze card, and sprayed it with gold perfect pearls to give a little more sheen to it - I am still in two minds as to if I like it or not, but I had to just push on at the time.


The sentiment stamp was embossed with gold ep - it was also a new stamp from Montarga (a NZ Company).


These close ups show the detail in these dies - I did not spot that I had missed removing some waste until after I had taken the photos, but I did manage to get them out before the card was dispatched.


The die cuts were adhered to green card stock, and then onto black.

A very quick card for me, but I am happy with it.

    Very beautiful Maxine and I really like the fact that you have left out quite a bit of negative space here. It enhances your whole design.
    Thank You~

    After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the
    -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now
    each time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact
    same comment. Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that service?
    Thanks!
