Lelli-Bot Crafts Steampunk Card

I LOVE the new Lelli-bot Steampunk kit! I recently bought the 6x6" topper and paper kit and the stamp set. Today I made my first card with the kit. I couldn't bring myself to cut the paper for a smaller card so went with an 8x8" Scalloped card.

I've used silver holographic card and purple pearlescent paper for matting and layering. I added the topper and sentiment and when I came back to my table, the corners were in place - my daughter thought they looked good there - so I attached them with 3D foam.
Hopefully I'll get the stamps out in the next few days too!

Steampunk Peg!

I have another quick card for you today. I got this fabulous Rick St Dennis image from his Randi Dandi line at I Brake For Stamps as a prize during the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop last year and love her! I've used her a few times and thought that she would be perfect for the current Progressive Challenge over at Sparkle and Glitter The RSD EDT Blog.

I have kept the card simple, the challenge is almost over and I didn't want to miss it! (This has been on my to do list all month!) I coloured her with Promarkers and inked the edges with Black Soot. I have used Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells papers (8x8 and 6x6) and layered them up with black pearlescent paper. The Cogs are from a Tim Holtz Sizzix Bigz Die and the senitiment is Craftwork Cards (layered on a cog!).

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Steampunk Altered Sweetie Tube

This is my entry for the Smeared and Smudged Junk Funk January Challenge found here!
I have altered at Milkybar buttons tube using Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells papers.

I covered the tube and peeled back a section at the 'front', this was covered with Triple Thick and had Black Soot Distress Glitter adhered to it. I've added black web lace around the bottom, some die cut cogs from the X-Cut die set and some black adhesive blingy flourishes.

I added a small cut out from the papers. I then stamped some steampunk style butterflies onto a sheet of plain matching paper from the 6x6 pad, coated them in Triple Thick and fussy cut them.

There are some cogs all the way around the tube and at the top.

The slit in the top was made before I sellotaped it shut and it's only big enough for 5pence pieces - I'm thinking I will save them for the next Craft show at the SECC!

Thanks for looking!

Steampunk Challenge at PunkyouGirl

Time for a new challenge at PunkyouGirl and this month's theme is Steampunk!
I have used the Steampunk Peg image by Rick St Dennis available at I Brake for Stamps.

I have coloured her up with Promarkers and gone with a turquoise and orange colour scheme to match my Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells 8x8 paper pad that I used for the background. I love this paper and haven't used much of it so thought I'd just get in there and start cutting! I've layered the elements with black pearlescent papers and die cut some cogs from the same paper. I finished with some black head pins and rolled roses with black Stickles for a sparkle.

Thanks for looking, I hope you'll join us for our dark themed, Steampunk challenge!

Anything Goes at Crafting by Designs - A New Challenge

Hi everyone, time for a new 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Crafting By Designs and this week we are sponsored by Meljen's Designs Digital Stamps. I have had the joy of working with the image Victorian Goth Girl and have gone with a purple and black steampunk inspired card.

The image as always is coloured using my Promarkers and I've layered it up with purple pearlescent paper. I have used a Tri-boss Cogs embossing folder for the light brown paper behind it and an Embossabilities brick embossing folder for the background - both have Dusty Concord distress ink rubbed onto highlight the embossing. The die-cut cogs are using a set of X-Cut dies through my Cuttlebug with the same black and purple pearlescent papers. The sentiment is Craftwork Cards.

I will enter this card into the following challenge -
My Craft Creations - Anything Goes
LEJ Designs - Lots of Layers
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
