Pulling For You [PTI Blog Hop]

PTI Bloom Builder 3 Gears Card


Here's an inspirational card for the Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop.
The lime green looks so fresh set off with the black and white in Papertrey's inspiration photo:




I used the PTI Bloom Builder #3 die for the gears. The card was done last night, and this morning when I was taking pictures I couldn't stop thinking that the "gears" still really looked like flowers. Here's what it used to looked like...

So I punched some circles and put them in the center of each Bloom Builder flower die with a little adhesive so they would stay put. This effectively chopped off the long, rounded ends of the flower so they looked a little more like gears.

A texture is stamped on the gears to make them look a little more weathered. 

Thanks for looking!
