playing with steampunk, paints and inks

hold onto your hats..

i have made a card!!!!

i know shocking eh?well actually i made

this card a while back..

but busy with holiday preparations and
playing with children,
oh and the Olympics,so crafting is slow...

anyway  here it is :

i created this card using some fab steampunk stamps from creative expressions,

 lots of inkiness and paintiness,

rock candy, lots of layers

and some ideaology..

sorry cannot remember exactly how i did each section,

as it was a while ago,

the layers included perfect pearls, stencilling, and stamping..i love the grungy feel

these various layers create all put together.

the cog die cuts are from canvas on a roll, inked and ideaology added.

the image, sentiment..which i love

and inventor word are from creative expressions theme plates

i love these stamps, they are full of steampunk yumminess!

i covered the stamped and inked elements in rock candy

and finally added some screw brads
