So many techniques in this card, this one was a labour of love. It is very easy to get a bit carried away with all the great stamps and dies in the Gears and Textures bundle.
The stamps are great for collage backgrounds and I have used a few here in neutral tones with a splash of Coastal Cabana. I have combined softer colouring in some of the die cuts, to contrast with the metallic card die cuts and the grungy looking heat embossing.
More details and a video over on my blog ...https://senseofwhimsy.com.au/2026/01...es-plus-video/
