Steampunk

Well it seems steampunk's making a bit of a re appearance at the mo as I seem to be coming across it everywhere I look, which is all good as I LOVE it!!!
This is my latest steampunk offering

I tried to put lots of texture and interest into the background to begin with and used a piece of pearly patterned paper from my stash. After fixing it to the card blank I used a cogs Splodgeaway mask and embossed it which shows up really well on the left hand side.I then coloured the white cardstock with crushed olive distress ink and addad a border with the pear green promarker to add definition. The 'tag' shape was diecut and then embossed with a Tim Holtz folder which was then sanded. The sentiment is from creative expressions and was stamped onto a piece of card coloured with distress ink as before. I added a liberal sprinkling cogs which were die cut from pearly paper with an xcut die- my new fave - love them!

My image is from Kenny K and she's called Scarlet West! I love Kenny K digis as they all have loads of attitude! I coloured her with my promarkers and added lots of foiling to highlight her buttons, buckles and jewels lol!
