Play Together - A Steampunk & Tissue Tape Card

You know I can't stay away from gears too long, right?  I love steampunk. It is the perfect blend of victoriana and industry.  So, I thought I would make a card.  Here it is!

I used a lot of tissue tape for this card.  I started by taking strips of tape and covering my card front.  I took another piece of cardstock and did the same thing. Then I punched out my gear pieces and outlined them in gold. 

Unfortunately I found that when i put the gears on the card they didnt show up very well. So, I added some solid pieces on my card and placed the gears on that.



Close Up!
I am sure that you recognize Tim Holtz' ticket and tiny word (yes, he has a whole book of them that you can buy).

I actually punched the three holes in the gear, outlined the whole thing in gold and added the gems.  It's mounted on a circle with mounting tape.

I love the way gears work together.

Hope you liked my steampunk card.  See you again soon!
