Gears to You

Photo Details

Poster: jasonw1

This card is for our son Patrick. His birthday is this weekend.

This is also for the featured stamper FS341 Heidi Baks. You have a wonderful gallery and congrgratulations on being the featured stamper!!!

Her card has an embossed background, die cuts, and no sentiment. Hers is in grey, and has a ribbon, and banners. I was thinking of putting the sentiment on a small banner but I am looking for input!

Here is her card!

I need some advice...The sentiment is going to be "Gears to you" Happy Birthday....Should I put the "Gears to You" (computer generated) on the outside or inside? When I tried it on the outside it seemed a distraction. (but maybe it needs that...)I love the rich chocolate look of this. The gears (Tim Holtz dies borrowed from a friend) were actually cut in a metalic copper but they do NOT look shiny in ANY picture I took. They are roughly the same color as the embossed cardstock (unknown). Ribbon from Jo Ann's.

I think the card looks nice without a sentiment on it, but it wouldn't look bad with it. Love the monotone of it. TFS.

Very cool ... love those gears!! I think a banner sentiment on the front would look good ... maybe bottom right-hand corner?? If not, then put it on the inside. Love the depth of color with this brown - gorgeous!

Peggy, this card looks good enough to eat! I love the rich chocolate colors! As for the "Gears to you" a banner and embossed in gold, or a little tag hanging off the beautiful ribbon, even nothing works for me!

Have fun and be creative!

My goodness, only you, Peggy, could make even gears look elegant! This is so rich! I like it just the way it is, but I'm sure you'll make the right decision about the sentiment, you've got a good eye!

I love how rich this shade of brown is, the sentiment could go on the inside? I love this arrangement of layers like this a lot!.

Maybe on the top right or bottom right of your card? Seems like it would work...I love the whole Gears to you thing!!

Great man's card! I like it simple and uncluttered. I would put the banner inside. Diana

Peggy.....step away from the card......this is perfection on paper. Oh boy, this is incredible. I agree with Brigit, only you could make gears look elegant. Having said that it is a very masculine card. I think this is going to be the most CASED mans card in SCS history. Happy birthday to Patrick.
