Shabby Steampunk

Hi, I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and the big chap in the red suit has been kind to you. If you're anything like me you'll be ready for a change after all those Christmas cards. The new Punky Romance stamps were a real breath of fresh air when postie popped them through the letterbox. I've used a tissue paper background stamped with the harlequin stamp for this card.




The large focal image is a really stunning stamp and I've triple embossed it adding some holographic EP to the final layer for some sparkle. I've also made a backing paper by clear embossing the rose stamp from Punky Romance and inking with Dusty Concorde distress ink. Die cut cogs and vellum flowers made with Crealies 18 finish the card off.

Keep checking back as my teamies have some truly beautiful projects with all the new stamps

    A brilliant combo of pretty with steampunk - love it and it is good to see something which isn't a Christmas card. I've seen enough of those for a while!!

    I've never used tissue paper before but am totally intigued by your "frilly" edges & how soft this looks. The colours are wonderfully soft too & the pearls with the cogs just a lovely touch.
