Making Art! Challenge #18!

Well, it's only a week after I posted the challenge here on the blog, and now I finally have it done...lol!
Look, I just need to think about these things for a while, ok?
Went with a little hanging piece, using the Ornamental die as a background.  The paper is the OLD My Mind's Eye Bohemia line, yes, I still have some. Well, actually lots of it. Surprisingly, it hadn't disintegrated into a pile of dust on the shelf. All stamps are Studio 490, OF course. 
Ooo, and those little mover and shaper gadget gear dies, how cute are those???? Perfect size for little stuff. Love them.


Remember, the challenge was to use striped paper and a rectangle frame....
Inks used were...Peeled Paint, Broken China, Brushed Corduroy. My all time faves.
I used paint dabbers on the gears...gold and copper, then swiped some coffee archival over them.
Thanks for stopping by today, always enjoy reading your comments, GO BE CREATIVE!!!
