It's Tuesday, which means it's Kathi here to share a project with you.. I love Steampunk and I love cats, which means when I saw That's Crafty's new Steampunk Darlings sets, I knew that I had to have them. So far I've got two sets, but that will change, especially since there's a set with a bunch of cats.
Anyway, since I've decided that this week is Steampunk week on my blog, I decided to use my new Steampunk Darlings Set 2 by Kelly Horton for That's Crafty
I also used the wonderful Steampunk Border Clear Stamp #116 by AALL and Create.
Here's my card. I didn't use a sentiment because I can't decide who to send this to and for what occasion. I can always add a sentiment, but once everything is glued down, it's harder to change.
I was not having a great day in the craft room and tried to do my usual stamp, mask, and stamp or stencil over the image, but things were just not working out according to plan.
So I went with Plan B. It's good to be flexible like that. I stamped both the cat and one of the three fabulous Steampunk women from the Steampunk Darlings Clear Stamp Set 2 by Kelly Horton onto white cardstock and fussy-cut both images. I decided to take the easy way out and use patterned paper for part of the background. That of course turned out to be not easy as I collect Steampunk patterned paper. I knew that I wanted some flowers, so after a bunch of dilly-dallying, I settled on this sheet.
I colored both images with Copic markers, added gold glitter pens to the brass accents on the image, and used a black marker to cover those unsightly white edges.
I used Onyx Black VersaFine ink to stamp the Steampunk Border Clear Stamp #116 by AALL and Create onto blue patterned paper from the same pad. I trimmed the paper, used a scissor blade to distress the edges, and then used a gold leafing pen to gild them.
The patterned papers were layered and clock-themed washi tape was added to the bottom. The edges of the card front were distressed and I added gold leaf pen to them. I decided that the I should add a gold foil sticker border, so I did. The card front was added to a blue card and the colored images were adhered as shown to finish the card.
