Reblogged from Thefrugalcrafter's Weblog:
Hi there crafters! I was in need of a birthday card for a guy and came up with this:
I die cut some gears from cardstock and wanted them to look like metal so I inked them with pigment ink and used copper embossing powder and heat it...but wait? Where is my shiny finish?!? My old embossing powder had tarnished from either age, humidity or both and my gears looked rusty...but wait, I like it!
