I don't know why I haven't made this structure since 2011, but that won't happen again. I really like making them... And they stand so beautifully.
I'm using a wax crayon resist technique for the backgrounds. Also multi embossing powder technique using Emerald Creek embossing powders to get the rust/verdigris look on the gears.

Anyway I'm using a couple of the A Way With Words dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs "Laugh" and "Celebrate" also available on Quietfire Design HERE and HERE
I'm also using a sentiment ("Happy Birthday Plain and Simple" 7pce set) and part of a quote stamp ("Home, Congratulations" 5pce set) from Quietfire Design
