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.

Time to Rock at Steampunk

I love that there are so many different styles that one can portray when making cards. Today's card showcases one of those different for me styles-Steam Punk. I made this card for the challenge at Kenny K using THIS image, which is not as steam punk as some of his other images but I gave it my best shot with what I have. 

The image is colored using Copic markers on Cryogen paper. I really like the shading of the guitar but for the rest I'm still working on lighting and hair. The patterned paper is by Scrap Works and I used various scraps of cardstock for the embellishments. I used a die cut by Sizzix-Tim Holtz and then I cut some gears out using Cricut's Indie Art cartridge. The die cut is positioned to the right {not sure if those are cogs or gears-but the aqua border down the side} which I secured to the card with washi tape. I ripped the washi tape down the center so it wasn't so wide covering up my die cut. 

The brown circle, upper left, is stamped with a Fiskars polka dot circle stamp with Stampin Up craft ink. The clock is by Stamper's Anonymous. I heat embossed it with Versa Mark ink and Ranger Industries embossing powder. The arrow and brad are by Tim Holtz. Last little things; circle punches by EK Success and Creative Memories, aqua letters by Cosmo Cricket, brown letters by Colorbox and sequins by Multi Craft Imports.

Thanks for looking.

One Stitch at a Time challenge

This week at One Stitch at a Time the challenge is to use Red, White and Blue. My image is by Delicious Doodles called Steampunk Corner. There are so many awesome images to choose from. I really enjoy Teri's style.

So here is my graduation card that I made using the corner. I printed it on photo paper and then used blue alcohol inks to give it that rich blue color. Thanks for stopping by
