Happy Birthday Gear Card
Card front: Cut the card to 4¾”x6½&rdquo,; and place the fold on your left. Cover with brown fireworks holographic paper. Glue a 4 3/8”x6” iris suede paper centered.
Put several drops of each color of Re-Inker on the felt pad of a blending tool. Spritz the pad with alcohol. Pounce the blending tool all over a 4½”x6½” glossy white cardstock. You can spritz the pad again to reactivate the inks. You can also add more ink to the pad. Once you have the look you want, let it dry. Repeat the same procedure for two more 4½”x6½” glossy white cardstock papers.
Use the Gears embossing folder and Die Cutting Machine to emboss all three of the inked papers. Use a cosmetic sponge with VersaMark™ ink to cover only the raised areas on all three embossed papers. Dust two papers with silver embossing powder, and one with copper embossing powder. Tap off the excess. You can use a small brush to remove powder from the debossed areas. Heat emboss with a heat tool.
Cut one of the embossed papers to 4”x5¾”. Glue to the card front. Cut individual gears from the copper embossed paper. Glue over those gears on the card front.
