Double Trouble Challenge 58 - I'm a Crazy Cousin!

Hello, everybody!  I am happy to announce that I am a Crazy Cousin this month at Double Trouble Paper Crafting!  Crazy Cousin equals Guest Designer but sounds like a lot more fun!

We have a great challenge for you, and I don't think it's any trouble at all!  Please head over to Challenge 58 for more inspiration and all the details, but in the meantime, here's a brief summary so you don't get in any trouble:

I made a card for a man, with lots of circular elements.  I was happy to dust off my gear dies that hubby Brian bought me several years ago!

I was inspired by a technique I saw at Splitcoast Stampers called Embossing with Detailed Dies.  Here's a link to their video that shows how I made the background, which I then die-cut with a stitched rectangle and adhered to a black panel. I fussy-cut the vintage car and adhered it with foam tape to a black die-cut circle and then adhered a white sentiment strip.  To finish the card, I die-cut several gears in black and adhered them to the background.

Dies:  Memory Box Gear Assembly, Memory Box Deluxe Gear Set, Memory Box Mini Gears, Gina Marie Designs Dot Studs Circle, Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle

Ink:  Staz-On Jet Black, Rusty Brown, Timber Brown

Digital stamp:  Pixel Scrapper Vintage Car 01 (freebie, thank you)

Digital sentiment: Crafty Secrets Car Classics

Paper:  Silver poster board (from my Dollarama stash), black cardstock (Recollections)

I hope you'll be inspired to join our challenge!  I am looking forward to seeing what you make!
