Sassy Ladies in Steampunk today

This month at Sassy Studio Designs I'm on the Facebook group and this month is steampunk. The image you see below is free to SSD FB group fans but they have to use the image by May 26th and post it in the groups photos. Then they have a chance at winning a gift certificate to the SSD store. Then the following month they can get the next image for free with the same instructions. If you get May's image and don't use it then you cannot get June's image for free. You either sit out for a month or you buy it to play along. Join the Sassy Studio Designs Facebook group so you're in the know.

I printed out the image onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers. Then I fussy cut her out and adhered her with foam adhesive to white cardstock. I did use the silver Wink of Stella pen on the bolts of the frame and on her top. I put Glossy Accents on the lens of her goggles too. 

My card base is size 5x5 1/2. I took some Adirondack silver paint and applied it heavily to the edges of the white card front. The brownish patterned paper is by Tim Holtz that has been dry embossed with a Darice embossing folder. The sentiment is also by TH in Simon Says Stamp red ink and then I cut it a part inking the edges with Frayed Burlap distress ink. the two brads are by Eyelet Outlet and the hot air balloon die cut is by K and Co. The letters for the word "Hopes" are by Joann's.  

Then we have the Flashback Friday image which is Steam punk Amelia. I printed out the image onto Cryogen cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers and then die cut her out with a Sizzix die. While she was still in the die I inked her edges with distress ink. 

I used a Tim Holtz stencil for the background of the card. I inked it with distress ink and then applied translucent embossing paste by Dreamweaver Stencils. After it was dry I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. 

The rest of the card came together with a die cut by K and Co, a metal suitcase embellishment by Bo Bunny, washi tape, a ticket by Memory Makers that I stamped a Tim Holtz stamp with Stampin Up brown ink. Amelia is adhereed to the card with foam adhesive by 3M.

Thanks for looking,

Any Occasion card with a pear stamped with chalk

There's a new challenge on the Chalk Ah Lot challenge blog. This one is nice and easy; Anything goes with chalk. It will run for 2 weeks. Visit the challenge blog HERE and visit the sponsor Stamp N Plus for their powdered chalks and stamps.

QI used the lime green powdered chalk by Stamp N Plus as ink to stamp my pear on watercolor paper by Strathmore. The pear stamp can be found HERE.Then I mounted it onto black cardstock by Recollections. The patterned paper is by Colorbok and the card base is a dollar bin item from Michael's. I die cut a scrap of watercolor paper for the sentiment. The die cut is by Sizzix. The sentiment is by Scrapbook Pros and the brad is by CTMH. The lace is by Prima and the flowers are by Recollections and Creative Memories. I used some epoxy fots on the left side. These are also by Creative Memories.
