repurposed packaging for technique 8 of compendium of curiosities challenge vol 2

well behind again!!! what with half term and a complete re haul of the three children's bedrooms, I have been a bad blogger and not really done any crafting except this!
So here is my entry for the compendium of curiosities vol 2 challenge , technique 8, page 62,.repurposed packaging:
well i have a whole draw full of old packaging that i just couldn't throw away and have never used, but now wow, endless fun to come!!!I loved this and the fact that is was packaging was even more rewarding. For the lowdown on the technique, follow the master himself on page 62.

I added my re purposed cogs to a tag coloured with distress inks, added my fab fav steampunk guys stamp, some ideaology and a little bottle crack;ed using a technique found on Hels blog , not sure where oops sorry!!!
I am entering this for the following competitions:
technique 8 @ http://studiol3.blogspot.co.uk/
man up for mojo monthly @ http://www.blueboxbabe.blogspot.co.uk/
anything goes @ http://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.co.uk/

    Ooo Trace Thank you so much for my ATC it came this morning. It's wonderful love the embossing, the cogs and the grungy-ness it's up on my wall already! Thanks for the comment, not sure if the digi stamp will take off, but my friends have encouraged me to do it, so I'll just have to suck it and see. Michelle x

    I really like these vintage tones and those gents are always so dandy. The recycled packaging makes for great cogs - great translucent quality! Thanks so much for joining in with My Mojo Monthly. Sarah.
