Gears to You!  I used the cracked glass technique with this stamp set.  The card size is 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 with the cracked glass panel being an ATC size (also used an image from the MFP ATC stamp set).  I stamped the card background using images from the Gears to You set before layering the cracked glass panel and sentiment onto the card base.  Embellished the card using a Tim Holtz pen nib.
 
For my Gear Up card I sponged the image panel with distress ink and then used pearl glimmer mist on the stamp as ink and then stamped the misted stamp onto the distress inked panel.  The mist pulled the image off of the ink and left the stamped image to give a unique pearl look to the card!  Twine and a Tim Holtz gear embellish the card.
 
Please hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!) All six winners will be announced on
