Like Clockwork

Steampunk card made for my little brothers 30th (well aren't I starting to feel old!)

I cut the clock and clock hands on my Cameo and then used a mixture of red, gold and bronze embossing powder on them. The clock hand were backed onto black card to make them stand a little better.

I cut a clock out fromt he backing paper and used glossy accents and also around the watch frame on the topper. I cut a square from the backing paper for the top left corner and mounted this and topper on black card and used "postage stamp" scissors around the edges.

Steampunk Birthday card

Seems like Steampunk is going to be the next thing in card making and I wanted to get in on the action! I love the whole genre, I find there is something very slightly disturbing about it. I think that comes from the films and games (mystery case files, sherlock holmes etc) in the steampunk genre with a sinister edge!

Anyway, couldn't wait to try out a steampunk card so when Kenny K brought out their Steampunk Burlesque images I had to give it a go!

The image is Scarlett West from Kenny K and she is coloured with promarkers.

The papers are from Hobbycraft (and where is all there steampunk stuff??? Spent a good hour trawling the place yesterday!).

I brought the clock face and cogs from the jewellery section in Hobbycraft and used a Tim Holtz mask to create the compass.

I used some of the left over paper to create the corners and used my layered arches martha stewart punch on them.
