Geared up

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made for Less is More where the theme is borders. I have die cut the gears using a thick yoghurt foil lid. I stuck the lid on to a rather thick packaging material from a Body shop pack and maybe next time I should use paper that is not thicker than the cardstock itself. 

The card was left sentiment free for the purpose of flexibility.

  1. Great way to use the gear die cuts! I have a gear die and don't even know if I ever used it because I never knew what to do with them! Thanks for the inspiration!

  3. Great piece of recycling looks terrific. Like you I often leave a sentiment off expressing my sentiment inside when I know where it is going and why. x

  6. Always like a bit of upcycling and your cogs border is great for a 'man card'. Thanks for playing along at Less is More.
