I really needed to create a manly birthday card but I was a bit nervous because I do normally struggle with it. I began with my favorite tool, my heat gun to add the beautiful silver shine to the chain link fence. If you want to learn how I created that lovely texture on the chipboard gears, you can see the step by step method I used to create the faux aged metal on the ScraPerfect Blog. You can find the complete tutorial for my card HERE.
