simon says ...anything goes , a chunky steampunk block!

well simon says anything goes and i have just finished another steampunk block for my father in law. I love all things steampunk amd have had a ball making this , so here it is:
and the other side..
I had lots of fun playing with ranger foil, embossing and adding black paint dabber...love how this looks! I am loving my first few plays with ranger foil..
and i love the steampunk guys and hand and stuff, so just had a ball! I added my favourite ideaology cogs and spinners..my favourite embellishment for these steampunk pieces. The background, was embossed and inked with DI then i added some clear embossing powder and tapped a lot off to , heated to create texture.
.and made the top piece by covering two ideaology bingo pieces stuck on top of one another,covered with ranger foil and then added a cog..!!!
