Nuts and Bolts by Helen Chilton

This project started with this Carabelle Studio stamp:

and these 13Arts papers:

I stamped and black embossed the image onto three different pieces:

I tore corners from the blue paper to add to my two pages, lining it up exactly.

The right hand page looked a bit pale, so I added some colour with Distress Oxides.

Then I worked out my cogs and gears.

For these I painted them, covered with the Seth Apter Rust powder and then added sprinkles of the Frantage Silver.

It still wasn't quite right, so I dabbed some paint back on!

Then you've just got to hinge the pages together and stick everything on.
