Let's get started with my projects...
The card:
Since the Love Gears Bigz Dies is made for cutting through different materials I chose to cut into a pair of old jeans. Perfect for a more masculine card. I have also used different shapes from the Enchanted die set. It is fun to have cards in different shapes. The papers and flowers I have used are from the Prima Cartographer collection.

Other: white cardstock, jeans, leaves, pearls, title sticker
The layout:
In my layout I have created my background by using masks, colour blooms and stamps from Prima. The flowers frames the photo in a soft and delicate way. Then I cut out the Sizzix dies in black to contrast the softness which makes them really pop. The frame makes a perfect photo mat. The gears and the butterflies are so beautiful together with the flowers. The small hearts are cut-outs from the gears.
