Grungy Gears Mustang Card

Thanks to a recent visitor to my blog leaving a comment 

that mentions a new stamp set with a car in it by Stampin' Up!,

I'm now the proud owner of said set (plus matching dies and paper!). 

I had to hunt it down since I've not seen a catalog from SU! in a while.

I was trying not to be tempted to buy more stamp supplies

by not looking at their catalogs ;)

Well, I broke my resolve when I saw the newest catalogs,

buying this car set - and then some !

This is a work in progress card. 

I don't have everything glued into place just yet,

I'm trying to decide if I want to add something else.

Or redo the car image, again...... it's blah.

Stamp images, matching dies, paper are from Stampin' Up!

(Geared Up Garage) 

Darice Diamond Plate embossing folder

80 is a die set from Michael's

The car image was water colored with an aqua painter

and classic ink pads.

I added Crystal Effects to the glass

and chrome was colored in with a silver Sharpie marker.

I colored the frame portion of this stamp image with a black marker

then stamped it on white card stock.

I lightly sponged gray ink over it

followed by stamping a scratchy background over that.

My home made screw head brad:

tap a metal brad on a Versamark pad then dip it in silver embossing powder.

 Heat. Smoosh a screwdriver into the warm embossing powder. 

Be sure to use pliers to hold the brad while heating.

I had too much fun making grungy gears with paint and cinnamon! 

Yes, that is cinnamon sprinkled onto wet craft paint to make the rusty gears. 

Thanks for looking , have a great day !
