i love you steampunk style for creative expressions

well here I am with project no 2 using two great sets form creative expressions: hearts entwined and special sentiments . I decided to steampunk it up a bit with a fab embossed metals background, this can be found I compendium of curiosities vol 2 page 56. so here is my make:

 

 

I started by created my embossed metal background
 using the heavy duty embossing folder,
 paint dabber and clear embossing powder
.I have sanded and scuffed mine a bit to grunge
it up.

well you know me and tags , so I inked a tag in antique
 linen and pumice stone and then added corner stamping
 of Sam Poole's chicken wire stamp and some cogs from
 vintage inventor plate.

 

The heart from hearts entwined was stamped onto grungepaper and coloured with brushed pewter stain, in black archival and when dry cut out. For me all I love hearts and wings...( you may have noticed) and added some wings, which have been embossed using the replacements embossing folder.

 

The sentiment from special sentiments set was stamped in black archival ink. Finally , a dimensional rose using tattered floral die, some wire..( rude not too!)

 

 

To add a dash of colour I added some seam binding, dyed with fired brick and aged mahogany and

then pleated.
