Steampunk with Bling!

Welcome!

It's week 2 of the Steampunk challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad!
The Octopode Factory is our generous sponsor this forthnight.

I decided to use the Steampunk Lady Flo again but bling her up a bit! I used the same Steampunk background and added some metallic board cut with a fancy scissors. Some metallic washers, rhinestones and Sparkles were added for more bling. Lady Flo is ready for her Steampunk Party!

Do join in our fun challenge and stand a chance to win a $10 gift certificate from Octopode Factory! See you there!

Cheerful Steampunk!

Welcome!!

It's time for a new challenge over at The Cheerful Stamp Pad!
The theme, as you might have guessed (VBG) is Steampunk and our generous sponsor this time is The Octopode Factory.  The images we played with are excellent for Steampunk themed projects.

I decided to make an ATC and use very modern colours. In fact, I coloured with some fat Neon wax Highlighters.The image I used is Steampunk Lady Flo. She has this look of Mary Poppins with her little umbrella and frilly skirt. I printed a larger image of her on some Steampunk background I found here. The cut-out of Lady Flo is added with some foam tape to look like she has a shadow behind her while she is flying through the sky.

Here she is a bit closer:

Hope you like her and will join in the challenge.

Do visit Lily's shop because there are more fabulous images!

It's Time!

I'm at last getting to do a card for Dare to be Sassy Thursdays #108 at Sassy Studio Designs. The theme is Frosty Winter colours and my choice fell on blues and silver:

I used the sexy Steampunk Victoria and dressed her in blue, black and silver. Her soft white boots complete the picture. My pencils were used to colour her. I decided not to blend, thus giving an effect of more texture.

My base is a blue card. The silver mirror board was trimmed with a pattern scissors. I added pieces of a collage of clocks, etc that I edged with Indigo Blue ink. Last Victoria was added with mirror tape to give some more dimension.

Here is a close-up of Victoria:

Steampunk Sketch

Another card with one of the fabulous Steampunk Images that were freebies over the past weekend on the Sassy Studio Designs Papercraft Planet Group.

I followed the sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches #136.
I decided to make my card in cream, green and gold.

Here is my card:

Steampunk Four

It's Round 4 of the Sassy Studio Design Progressive Challenge and the theme is Anything Goes!

The image we received is the gorgeous Steampunk Vivian. I decided to work with the burgundies and browny reds and combine it with gold. There was some background left from round 2, so I cut it in strips for extra detail. I added a handmade flower that I made a bit smaller. 

On the close up you can see some of the Gelly Roll and Glossy Accents that I added.

Oh what fun this was! 

I'm entering my card in the following challenge:

Steampunk Two!

It's the second round of the Progressive Challenge at Sassy Studio Designs.

The challenge is to use a clock(s) and/or gear(s) together with Amelia Steampunk.

I decided to make a background of clocks and an hourglass using images from Graphic Fairy.

I printed it out at 50%, I also printed out a single pocket watch that I cut out. Amelia was coloured with pencils and blended. I added a bit of Gelly Roll. It is 2 o'clock in the morning so I might see a spot or 2 that I missed tomorrow, but the card has to be added to be part of the challenge...:)

Well, here she is:

And here in close-up.

Hope you like her!

Pink Steampunk

When I started I couldn't stop, so I created another card for the Sassy Studio Designs Progressive Challenge:

This time I used pink and black and silver. I think this card is more steampunk but I still have some way to go...

My metal is the brads.

Hope you like her!

Sassy Steampunk in Blue

Sassy Studio Designs has a progressive challenge going to celebrate their 500 members on Papercraft Planet.

The first fabulous freebie is Steampunk Josephine, the challenge is to add a metal embellishment to the card and finish it in 2 days. 

This is my first try, not very steampunk but enough metal. I used staples to fix my background to my card. I added a recycled piece of metal. VBG

Here is a close up of the image:

Hope you like her! She was fun to colour.
