This week the team were challenged to use some flowers. I always use paper or die-cut flowers, so this time I wanted to be different and use metal flowers... and with metal comes a Steampunk theme!
I have used 'Steampunk Dragonfly' for a square layered card. I don't like a lot of froufrou or excessive embellishments on a card, but using the layering method you can add a lot of elements without going over the top!
Products used:
- Papermania card
- Papermania 'Chronology' papers
- Gear dies
- Hill & cloud dies
- Sizzix Tim Holtz Friend Script word dies
- Tim Holtz Idea-ology Foliage
- Cosmic Shimmer extra thick embossing crystals
- Distress Inks - Walnut Stain, Stormy Sky & Forest Moss
- ProMarkers - Burnt Sienna, Caramel, Dusky Pink, Satin, Henna, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Walnut, Tan, Raw Sienna, Gold, Sunflower, Umber & Powder Blue
I used the extra thick embossing crystals to give these gears a plastic shine
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
- Card Mania - #106 AG
- Classic Design Team - #27 AG
- Crafting With An Attitude - #41 AG
