Today I have a great grungy masculine birthday card – that SPINS!!

The card features Gears and Textures – which is perfectly named.  The stamps have so many options for creating background textures on any card – with the gears or not.  The dies are gears, chains, lights and more.

So much fun to play with.  I added spinning dots under the top layer to give the card movement.  You can find those here:

I paired the bundle with the Nature Walk paper – as I did a couple of weeks ago (look through the past posts as that card is green!)  I love that the paper is so versatile.  It starts with it’s own bit of texture and then I layered the texture stamps over the top for even more.
The arch is cut from the Natural Hues cardstock – which has a texture of it’s own.  The gears are cut from the Textured Metallic…can you see the theme here?
I made my gear a bit rusty by stamping over it with a cajun inked texture stamp.
The light bulb is given some glass courtesy of Fine Tip glue!
For the final touch I spritzed the card with Black Blends.  It is the one thing that pulled all the layers together.
Add this bundle to your cart today – you won’t be disappointed!
