Time for the latest Craft Barn Blog Alpha challenge, and this time it's letter G. Now you may find it hard to believe, but I struggled to think of a suitable word. Me, Mrs I-Love-Steampunk herself. Talk about overlooking the obvious - it was even one of the DT's words! Of course, it HAD to be -
Gears!
I embossed the usual bit of Centura Pearl with an M- bossibilities folder - I rubbed Walnut Stain DI over the inside of the folder first to get a letterpress look. Then I rubbed Wild Honey DI over the surface, and gave it a light rub of Gleam wax. Finally, I glued on a few gears that I'd die-cut for other projects and coloured with Gilder's Paste and topped them off with a few Dew Drops
And there we are. Can you believe that there are only six letters left to go?

Gears always work for me, love the dew drops - BJ
Lovely ATC and great finish on background and gears. I am struggling at the moment to get my gears etc looking realistic - so I really appreciate your effects.
Amazing background! love the texture.
Thanks for playing with us at the Craft Barn
