Grungy SPINNING Gears & Textures Stampin’ Up! Masculine Collage

Today I have a great grungy masculine birthday card – that SPINS!!

The card features Gears and Textures – which is perfectly named. The stamps have so many options for creating background textures on any card – with the gears or not. The dies are gears, chains, lights and more.

So much fun to play with. I added spinning dots under the top layer to give the card movement. You can find those here:

I paired the bundle with the Nature Walk paper – as I did a couple of weeks ago (look through the past posts as that card is green!) I love that the paper is so versatile. It starts with it’s own bit of texture and then I layered the texture stamps over the top for even more.

The arch is cut from the Natural Hues cardstock – which has a texture of it’s own. The gears are cut from the Textured Metallic…can you see the theme here?

I made my gear a bit rusty by stamping over it with a cajun inked texture stamp.

The light bulb is given some glass courtesy of Fine Tip glue!

For the final touch I spritzed the card with Black Blends. It is the one thing that pulled all the layers together.

Add this bundle to your cart today – you won’t be disappointed!
