Awesome Gears

Hi!

My last post was showing a card I made to share kindness.

Today I have a few more cards that I made for that purpose.

I wanted to make some cards that were a bit more masculine and I

decided to use the

"Cogs and Gears" stamp set from 

Inkadinkado

I arranged the stamps on my MISTI stamping tool

and stamped the images with VersaMark ink.

For the card on the left I only used the VersaMark,

which gives a watermarked image.

For the other 2 cards I stamped with the VersaMark

then brushed on some Perfect Pearls powder

which gives color and shine and only adheres where there

is the sticky VersaMark ink.

The banner was cut with the 

banner die from Simon Says Stamp

The sentiment is one from the 

Titled Banner Sayings set

also from Simon Says Stamp

This picture shows a little bit of the shimmery shine that the

Perfect Pearls gives.
I also used a little of the Perfect Pearls around the edge of the 

white card bases and the banners on 2 of the cards.

I love how these cards turned out,

I hope you like them too.

I hope you'll stop in again soon,

Father's Day isn't too far away and I have a series of

Father's Day cards to share with you.

Until then,

Create!

Share Handmade Kindness Challenge Week #2

During the month of November

Jennifer McGuire is hosting a 

Share Handmade Kindness Challenge.

Be sure to check it out at

Jennifer McGuire Ink

This weeks challenge was "Community"

I decided to thank our mail carrier with a little gift.

I wrote a note in a handmade card saying,

"Cold weather is on the way,

use this to warm up.

Thank you for your service to our community."

I enclosed a gift card for 

Tim Hortons

which is a coffee shop and cafe.

I put the card on the mailbox where it couldn't

be missed and it was gone when I got home,

so guess he found it.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you'll join in the challenge to

Share Handmade Kindness.

See you again soon.
