This is a card I made for a challenge at That Craft Place. The theme is Steampunk, as chosen by Dawn Heald, and the prize is sponsored by Indigo Blu.
I started by inking the edges of an 8"x8" card blank with Distress Ink Antique Linen. I adjusted the colour of a paper from MCS Quintessential Country Garden and stamped some cogs from a Kanban set over it in Memento Rich Cocoa. I wrapped a ribbon round it and attached it to the card.
I got the corset and boots from The Graphics Fairy website. I lightened the colours from black to brown in MCS and added a bit of colour to the corset with pink Polychromos. I inked the edge of the corset and mounted onto card edged with a Shale Promarker. I decoupaged the boots for depth.
The cogs have been die-cut with a Donna Salazar die. The flowers were die-cut, with a Crealies die, from a paper I'd created in MCS. I mounted them up and inked the edges. I finished off with Cosmic Shimmer pearls.
this is just stunning, i love it so much, good luck in the challenge xx

ReplyDelete-I was just doing a bit of a hop from blog to blog and came across a comment on a blog which I didn't remember posting, then realised it was by you!!! So funny to see someone else with my name-I'm not used to it!!!! :)
Have added you to my blog list, I think your cards are beautiful x
Oh wow Andree, I'm just as surprised as you. Thanks for following and the lovely comment. Do you have a blog? x
DeleteHi Andree (wow, that feels weird!!!)
DeleteI do have a blog, its andree-alohacards.blogspot.co.uk I haven't had it for very long and am still getting used to it-it takes a while! I have just started entering some blog challenges which I am enjoying but it is quite time consuming so will probably only be able to do it during school holidays. It's also a question of confidence too!
