Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team is showcasing Indigo Blu's wonderful and eclectic cling rubber stamps.
Here's my card created with the Lady Fortesque Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp by Indigo Blu, the Flowers and Gears Clear Stamp Set 195 by Bipasha BK for AALL and Create, the Tag It Yourself Die Set 27 by AALL and Create, the Words of Steam Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps, and the Ink Drops - Midnight 6x6 Paper Pad by Craft Consortium.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the woman from the Lady Fortesque Cling Mounted Rubber Stamp Set by Indigo Blu onto white cardstock.
Use Copic markers to color Lady Fortesque. Use a metallic gold pen to add sheen to her earrings, her choker, and the dangling thing.
Place a piece of low-tack tape across the image panel below Lady Fortesque 's feet. Place the second largest die from the Tag It Yourself Die Set 27 by AALL and Create cutting-side down with Lady Fortesque centered in the die. Secure the die with low-tack tape, then run the sandwich through your die-cut machine.
Flip the die and panel so that the back of the panel shows. Use low-tack tape to secure the tag die-cut to the panel. Flip the combination back over so that the image is facing upwards. Gently brush Graphite, then Russet Orange Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps over the back of the die onto the image panel die-cut.
Remove the low-tack tape below Lady Fortesque 's feet and place the tape onto the horizon line so that it's covering part of the top of the image. Brush Graphite, then Russet Orange Elements Inks more heavily over the tape and the back of the die onto the image panel die-cut.
Remove the cutting die and clean it with hand sanitizer. Set the image panel die-cut aside.
Cut a piece of patterned paper from the Ink Drops - Midnight 6x6 Paper Pad by Craft Consortium to 5" wide and adhere it to the top of a 5" x 6 ¾" of thin white cardstock. Use Y26 and Y23 Copic markers to alter the color of some of the veins of the patterned paper.
Trim a piece of patterned paper to 1 ½" x 5" and lightly brush it with Graphite and Russet Orange Elements Inks. Use Graphite Elements Ink to edge the strip of patterned paper.
Use metallic gold/black metallic ink to stamp the long flowerless gears stamps from the Flowers and Gears Clear Stamp Set 195 by Bipasha BK for AALL and Create along the left side of the patterned paper panel. Clean and dry the stamp, then use the same ink to stamp the gears along the right side. Ink the smaller gear stamps from the same set with the gold/black metallic ink and stamp the gears into the center of the patterned paper panel.
Heat set the ink, then adhere the brushed panel over the patterned paper onto the bottom of the white cardstock panel. Trim the patterned paper covered panel to 4 ¾" wide. Use the metallic gold/black ink to edge the panel. Heat set.
Sponge or brush Graphite and Russet Orange Elements Inks onto a panel of white cardstock. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp "Steampunk" from the Words of Steam Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps onto the cardstock. Use a flags die to cut the sentiment, then use it again to cut another flag. Trim the flags off of either end of the "Steampunk" sentiment, then edge it with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink. Use blue rub-ons to add the word "strut" to the other flag, cut off the the flag edges, and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.
Adhere the image panel die-cut to the stamped patterned paper background panel. Adhere the sentiment die-cuts as shown. Adhere the card front to a 5" x 7" blue card.

Thanks for visiting today!
Excellent card Kathi. I love this collection by Indigo Blue. I love all the intricate background and gold elements. That's my style, but I don't buy the stamps, because the average person I send a card to is not into Steampunk or grunge:- ( I sneak a little grunge in when I can. If I had unlimited resources, I would buy all the stamps I love and make cards and journals for myself. Thanks for sharing and making me smile today.
