one for the boys at simon says stamp..

......
Well I love all things steampunk and have used my favourite Tim stamp,to make a dad tag.
so here it is :


 I started by embossing the tag using this fab new embossing folder, colouring with black soot and then adding pewter gleam, a craftynotions wax type product that adds a sheen.I added cogs , coloured in same way into corners of the tag and added washers to the centres, also to the whole at the top of the tag.

The image is the fab steampunk guys , stamped in archival, I then coloured the  card in pumice stone and black soot and then used a water brush to remove some of the colour from their faces.The ticket was coloured in same way.
I added some ideaology and a little bottle full of watch parts and some string to add to the manly feel,oh and dad letters!

I am entering this for the following challenges:
one for the boys @ http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.co.uk/
bring on the boys @ http://2sisterschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/

have a fab, fun and inky day!

  1. Trace, this is so fabulous, I got that embossing folder after Mark of WOYWW told me about it and love using it with metal but on card it looks amazing. Best of all I love the little bottle filled with clock bits - genious idea! Crafty hugs, Anne x
