PRODUCTS
Stamps: IndigoBlu: Grand Tour 1
EcoGreen: Steampunk Accessories 1
Stampede: Travel Map 3007F
DI: Walnut Stain... on the edges smudged
Paris Trunk: Sepia
Ranger: Sepia Accents. now this was an experiment :)
I wanted the cogs to look a bit used.. so I dribbled a tiny amount of Sepia Accents onto the cogs and heated with my heat gun ... well it boiled and bubbled, leaving at first a sticky mess... but has now dried and looks a bit like grease.. I like it!
Oops! I forgot to say the "cogs" are from Joe's workshop "bits" box... thank you Joe xx

Oooh love this Sue. Is that some of TH's Kraft resist papers I spy? (Not to self - must get mine out of the drawer). The images you've chosen are fabulous and I love your experiment with the cogs and gears. You are right it does look like grease ........... but without the nasty mess, lol!
