Industrial/Steampunk

Hi Crafters,

I have another 'Steampunkesque' card to share with you today. I have played with my alcohol inks and Spellbinders embossing folder for the background together with a few more X-Cut cog dies. These were heat embossed with black EP to look like metal. I then decided to add little red gems to the centres like you see inside a watch...

The background was a mixture of Adirondak Inks in Espresso, Rust and Gold and topped off on the raised embossed parts with black Memento Ink to define them.

The Happy Birthday die is a Memory Box one and it had the same treatment as the cogs. I backed it with gold card to show through the letters. A little matting and layering and it was complete.

Hi Crafters,

I have been having a sort out in my craft room (a bigger job than I first thought, lol) and came across these fabulous Steampunk toppers from Kanban Crafts that I had forgotten about so I made a few cards with them.

Together with some cog papers, X-Cut and MB cog dies and sentiment stamps I created these cards. I'm really pleased with how they turned out but then again I'm a little biased towards the subject :)

Challenges I'd like to enter:

That Craft Place - Steampunk

NBUS Challenge - #5 ATG (NBUS - Kanban Toppers)

Hope you are having a lovely Sunday - we have enjoyed the sunny weather this morning as it is meant to be wet this afternoon.

See you soon,

Lorraine
