The Coming of Age of a Young Man.


Hello there crafters. Welcome to my blog again. 

Today I have a treat for you. My nephew turned 18 this weekend. I have been very busy the last couple weeks, but I whipped this card up last week for the birthday celebration.


As you may have worked out by now, I love easel cards. They are so much fun to make, I find as you get to adorn the inside of the card as well. 

The card is 6x4 inches and I made the envelope for it specifically as the card had a bit of depth to it that I didn't want to try and jam into a standard envelope.


For the gears I used this technique to emulate rust. 



 I hope you like this card, please feel free to leave a comment or question.

I also entered this card in a GEAR it UP challenge over at http://sandee-and-amelie.blogspot.co.at. The challenge can be see over here: http://sandee-and-amelie.blogspot.co.at/2015/03/gear-it-up-march-steampunk-challenge.html

      I actually made three cards like this all at the same time. The others will go on my etsy shop.
