Steampunk Charlie in Paris

Well, the big day is here at last. Jem's Designs have released the first of their digital images for you to purchase and play with. Find the selection of wonderful images here on the Jems website.
I am so lucky to be on the Digis by Jem's DT and the first digi image I was given to work with was the fabulous "Steampunk Charlie". I couldn't wait to get started and this is my first card with her.

 
I thought she had a French look about her so I used an MCS backing paper from Tinkering with Steampunk and superimposed a digital image from FREE ViNTaGE DiGiTal STaMPS of the Eiffel Tower to one side. I sized and then printed Charlie and some French ephemera from The Graphics Fairy.

 
I matted and layered the backing paper onto black card and an 8"x8" card blank. I chose a bold colourway of red and black for Charlie and used Polychromos to colour her in. I die cut the French labels and inked them up with Distress Ink Antique Linen to give them a vintage look.


As the digi is called Steampunk Charlie, I die cut some Donna Salazar cogs out of black card to use as steampunk embellishments and added Cosmic Shimmer pearl drops to the centers.
Steampunk Charlie is is only one of the digis realeased today, so pop over to the Jems website to have a look at the others for sale and watch this space for another Steampunk Charlie card.
