Kindness

 Good morning!

I applied grit paste to the brass gears and key, let dry then stippled on some brown paint.

I then applied Foundry Wax and heat it.

I applied Foundry Wax to the rusted corners as well.

Under the gears I added some burlap and denim and some thick jute at the top. 

My background (tan paper) was done using some Distress Oxide Inks and then applying embossing ink with a porous sponge and sprinkling with embossing glaze.  I added some walnut Distress ink to the blue decorative paper as well and then die cut with the design from Thank You for Your Kindness.

Before stitching on the machine, I cut some denim to use under the stitching. I also handstitched a few X stitches with thin jute twine (I got this idea from Stacy Hutchinson).

I've used: Thank You For Your Kindness S5-513 from Amazing Paper Grace.

Other products used: Elizabeth Craft Designs paper

Ranger: Grit Paste, Foundry Wax-Mined, Distress Ink, and Tea Dye Embossing Glaze.
