Dream Scheme Thursday-Free Challenge week

This is free challenge week and I'm using one of the new stencils introduced at CHA. The gear background was so perfect, I don't know why but I just love gears. Anyway this came in handy for me because my daughter's boyfriend is really into sprint trithalons and he just had a birthday. For this card I started out with pewter metal that I purchased through Dreamweaver. I used the Gears Stencil (LJ 911 ) this is one of the new background stencil. I cut the metal 41/2 by 5 3/4 then I ran it through my Big Shot to emboss it. I sanded it to give the gears a used look. Then I used Ranger Alcohol Inks for the background, the inks I used were
Meadow, Butterscotch and Expresso. I then used the bicycle stencil (LL 592) which I embossed with Gold Metallic Paste( DGP ) onto black cardstock. The papers I used for layering were gold metallic paper and antique gold metallic paper. This was a great card for a guy.
Now you need to go to the rest of the Dream Team blogs and check them out because I'm sure I'm not the only one focusing on the new stencils. Then if you want to play along with us go to the Dream It UP blog and post some of your creations using Mr. Linky. We look forward to your visits so give us some comments to let us know that you have dropped by. See you next week.

    I love the gear stencil, too, as it is the perfect metaphor for different parts working together to achieve a common goal. It's a handsome card and any guy would be delighted to receive it.

    I think I saw this one at CHA. I was really impressed! I hadn't thought of the bike with the gears. How perfect!
