Paper Roses Cogs Die card

 

Hi There

Today I am sharing a grungy card for Paper Rose Studio that uses only one die set 

 cogs.to create the entire card.

I love rusty things  and the new Cogs metal die set has a wonderful assortment and sizes of

cogs that you can paint and distress.

To create my rusty cogs I have die cut my cogs out in cardboard, I use cereal boxes for the thin 

cardboard. I have also cut the cogs  out in two different thicknesses of black craft foam. 

I don't paint these up they are glued to the painted cogs before assembling the card to give them different textures and thicknesses.

The cardboard cogs are painted in distress paints using the dauber tops. This puts the paint on in a stippled effect rather than full coverage and helps the cogs to look rusted and old.

My background is made using the Distressed Mesh stencil and a very light application 

of some pastel acrylic paint.

I really wanted the cogs to pop so the background is just a hint of colour.
