Introducing Steampunk Victoria!

This will be a quick post...I wanted to get this up

yesterday but never found the time! 

This next challenge is vintage or victorian.

Steampunk Victoria!

I colored her with my metallic watercolors...wanted to have a bit more shine...

and copics. I distressed the papers a little and used a diecut for the

side pieces...inked the edges and added the pearls with mini roses.

The roses were a greenish color so I used the metallic watercolor and colored them to match!

Can't wait to see what you all create with her!

Make sure you check out PCP and the SSD blog!

HUGS!!



Next In The Steampunk Challenge

Here is the card that I made using the latest steampunk:

Steampunk Amelia!

This challenge is Time Flies!

You must use a clock and/or gears on your project!

I did not have any clock faces so I added some gears,cogs, and a pointer.

The chain was an after thought...I knew it needed something and I had several chains in my junk drawer!

Can't wait to see what every one creates!

HUGS

I've Got Steam On The Brain!

Steampunk that is!

We hit over 500 on the PCP forum and SSD will not

let that pass without a celebration!

So we are having a progressive challenge!

Have you ever done a progressive challenge before? If not basically

you get the first image free...you have a specified time to make a project with said image

and if you do you will get a second image and it continues.

For this challenge you will receive

Steampunk Josephine

Isn't she hot? And the next ones are just as hot...if not more!!

Kind of a mix of Mae West and Lara Croft!
Is your interest piqued, yet???

For this first challenge you must have metal embellisments!

I couldn't find what I was initially going to use so I made my own!

I wanted more of a silver look so I used some wire and twisted me some "leaves"

added some metallic silver on the flowers and her buckles,

added metal brads to the center of the flowers and then finally the

swirls are not rhinestones but metal stud thingys!

Yup that is a technical term!
The silver background paper was made with silver embossing powder.

I wish that the picture had come out a bit better,

but with no flash it was worse and at certain angles the metal caused to much glare!

Hope you can see it ok!!

Now head on over to the SSD Blog and get your image, you'll be glad you did!
She is only there till the end of the day!
