Heartfelt Creations Debut of the All Geared Up Collection

Shift your creativity into high gear with the All Geared Up collection from Heartfelt Creations! This imaginative mix of gears, cogs, and mechanical flowers uses deep shades of rust, brown, teal, red and cream to create a fabulous industrial vibe. Clever vanity license plates, chains, wire, rugged stripes and distressed graphics mesh perfectly with Steampunk or masculine projects, and will keep your wheels turning with ideas for "girly grunge" creations, too. The versatile All Geared Up dies feature fanciful sprockets, gears, cogs, chains and license plates that can be shaped into innovative 3-D embellishments or die cut from white cardstock to create beautiful doily accents. Six hand drawn stamp sets continue the mechanical theme with a large Cogs and Gears background stamp, themed accent stamps, mechanical bouquets and playful sentiments that are "geared" to carry your project across the finish line with a smile. The All Geared Up Collection has been designed to inspire the bold in you....so let's gear up!

Use a putty knife to spread Venetian Plaster over an 8 x 10 wooden board.  Use the background stamps to stamp into the plaster, or apply the plaster to the stamps and stamp with it.  Using the two techniques together will create a variety of textures. Wash the stamps immediately to avoid the plaster drying in the designs. When dry, paint over the plaster with gesso. Spray a combination of mists in copper, teal, green and brown over the canvas.  Use StazOn ink to stamp the texture stamp from the Shifting Gears set, randomly on the canvas. Use the positive and negative cuts from the chain die to cut cardstock, glue to the canvas for more texutre, and spread modeling paste thinly over the top.  Sprinkle with microbeads before it dries. Spray with mists when dry. Cut gear flowers from a mix of metallic paper, vellum and patterned paper. Shape and arrange around the canvas. Stamp the license plate and heat emboss with copper powder. Die cut and add to the flowers. Add die-cut leaves.  Finish the canvas by gluing mica flakes randomly around the flower clusters.
