another steampunk atc

Hello again! Made a second ATC for a steampunk swap

~ Ü ~

An airship! As with the previous ATC, the base is a digital collage of steampunk elements and a magazine page. One side has been embossed and the whole thing inked and distressed. The image has been printed twice. The top layer is fussy cut, inked and raised on foam pads.

steampunk atc

Hello and hope you're having a good weekend!

I'm sharing a steampunk ATC today.

~ Ü ~

I created the base as a digital collage of steampunk elements and a vintage page. I have embossed some of the edges and inked & distressed the whole thing in DIs. The butterfly was printed twice, with the second layer raised at the wings and highlighted with gloss gel. The sentiment are letter stickers. Aren't the eyelet binoculars great? A borrowed idea from previous steampunk challenges . . .

celebrate spring

Hello and have a Happy Spring! Here's what I'm sharing today

~ Ü ~

A soft spring card with bluebells, accented in pink. The main image has been inked and distressed, and stitched onto a used envelope. The ribbon is hand dyed twill.

The flourish, flowers and butterfly have been cut from a used pink envelope. They have been inked and the flourish & butterfly covered with a film of gold pearl pen. The bookplate is cut from cereal box, and embossed in a mix of copper and vintage photo ep. The butterfly body is made from layers of a small flower, sequin and brad, with stamens for antennae.

reap what you sow

Hello! It's another green hue day today - for cards, that is!

~ Ü ~

Using this week's fabulous image from Papercraft Star, this creation uses shades of greens with yellow and gold accents. The edges have been inked in peeled paint & walnut stain DIs, as has the flourishes and butterfly. Floral background is from the Spring Swing set from The Paper Shelter, which have been stitched onto glittery yellow paper.
