Gingersnaps Get All Mechanical!

Pin It
It's time again for another Spicy Supply Challenge at the Gingersnap Creations blog, and this one's for all us steampunk fans: Gears, Cogs and Watch Bits!

I bet you recognize the Designer Paper I used for this piece-- it's from the beautiful Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante collection. I added a layered flower cut from leftover scrap paper using my long-neglected Silhouette SD machine. The gear border is Ranger Metal Tape cut using the Tim Holtz Alterations Steampunk die, tinted with Copper and Espresso Adirondack Alcohol Ink. The metal gears are from 7 Gypsies and Tim Holtz. I love gears, I truly do!

Please head on over to the Gingersnap Creations blog and check out the gorgeous work my design teammates created, then get, um, geared up to play along! This challenge is open through August 7, and we can't wait to see what you come up with!
