steampunk snowflakes for creative expressions DT

well it is time for my second Dt make for creative expressions

 with the fab steampunk set, designed by Sam Poole.

I love the fact that there are so many different elements to use in this set..

in so many different ways!!!

so here is my make:

 

 

i started by creating the background

for the card

using distress inks and then flicking water onto it

and then blotting and drying with a heat tool

this is a fab Tim technique..

 

when dried i added some garden wire,

cut to size with wire cutters

i attached this to the card using staples and my mini attacher

 

 

to make the snowflakes i stamped the shapes in broken china distress

and embossed using clear embossing powder.

i used one large and two small to make this card.

i then inked them with tumbled glass distress ink,

added broken china distress marker to the end of the bulb bit..

technical term..and blended using a water brush.

the filament of the bulb had added shine

using cosmic shimmer drawing ink

in silver

 

 

finally to complete the snowflakes and add to the steampunk feel

and because i LOVE cogs..

i added some fab idea-ology cogs.

 

 

the 25 was grungeboard numbers,

coloured with distress ink and then covered in glossy accents

and sprinkled with loose rock candy glitter.

 

i hope you like my make!

i will be back next week with another make and a tutorial.

 

have a fun and inky day!
