Instructions:

1. Using Blending Brushes lightly add color (Secret Sea and Pecan Pie) to larger piece of Very Vanilla and a little to the smaller inside piece.

3. Die cut a bunch of the gears and pieces from the scraps of Basic Beige, Pecan Pie and Secret Sea; then add them to front in desired patter - with some glued directly down with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and some popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
4. Stamp the sentiment for the front on a scrap of Basic Beige with Secret Sea ink and punch with the Three Banner punch. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Add three of the Faux Bronze Pentagons to the front of the card.
