Get it in gear

Hello. Playing around and created a steampunk hat out of the Colorado Craft Company's Frosty's hat stamp set.

I stamped the hat with versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear. Did a quick layer of black copic marker to get a base on to the hat. Came back with some black soot distress ink and added that with a blending brush. Highlighted areas with Hero arts unicorn white ink.  The band is Peacock feathers oxide ink - I used a paint brush to apply and then came back with the white pigment ink to highlight. 

The gear border dies are cut out of metallic paper in silver and holographic, then I used black alcohol ink to darken them. Once dry I sanded them down with a sanding block. Then added some brass/gold metallic rub-ons to grunge them up at bit more. Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. Black clair ink is heat embossed over gold cardstock (cheap stuff from Joann's Parklane line) and the heat of my wagner heat tool turned it a cool color. 

Tim Holtz 3D gear embossing folder used in the background. Distress inks in antique linen and vintage photo used to grunge it up. 

This turned out to be a really fun card to make - by the way it's a 5 x 7 card due to the size of the hat.

Thanks for stopping by!
