What came from the stacks

It's only been recently that I've understood what the big deal about steampunk was.  For quite a while I thought it was crazy and strange looking, but I'm now starting to see the appeal of the style - particularly the romanticized and feminine form that steampunk can take when combined with girlie details.  The card below is what was made from the stack of items I showed you yesterday.


Materials Used:
  • Lilac, burgundy, black, and white card stock
  • Steampunk Alyssa digi (by me) part tomorrow's release
  • Words/Sentiments printed from my computer
  • Authentique Collection: Uncommon
  • Martha Stewart Around the Edge punch
  • Homemade glimmer mist: gold, silver and copper painted on the gears.  Lilac on the "print" background, and pearl on the floral background.
  • StazOn ink in Jet Black
  • eyelets  from the sewing section
  • Bazzill Basics Paper self adhesive gems
  • Random Adhesives
Challenges:
