how lucky am i?!

some days are lucky days and today is one for me as i have been honoured to have been asked by the lovely Frankie to become part of the fab team over at dragons dream tag it on . The theme for these two weeks was considering steampunk..a recipe challenge..to include fantasy, inventions and victoriana. So here is my first dt piece:

I love steampunk..it is one of my favourites ..i have used lots of techniques here to create the background..dry and heat embossing and then added some fab steampunk stamps..supplies detailed below.

i made a hot air balloon invention, using a stamp and an embossed cog die..i love these cogs!

hope you can see the embossed detail..and this stamp just makes me smile..i tinkered with it and added the word fly and some wings..cannot have enough wings , another thing i love at the moment..

there is still a week to go and there will be a top 3 chosen, who knows it could be you! make sure you pop across to see my fab new dt team mates creations..they are fab!
I also want to say a huge thanks to Frankie for asking me and to the rest of the team for giving me such a warm welcome! thanks
