Steampunk for my niece ...

This card represents so many things that I don't normally do that I am surprised that it has ended up presentable.  I've used a digi stamp which I haven't used before, there is patterned paper that I rarely use and the image is human!!  My, soon to be 8, great niece decided that she likes steampunk - so I felt it only right to encourage this change of style by creating this birthday card for her! But where to start ... find an image, look for a sketch and stop procrastinating!  This is it -

The image is a digi stamp 'Top Hat Marci' from La-La Land Crafts which I coloured with Zig markers before mounting on dimesional tape and adhering to the stamped background.

I plan on entering the following challenges:

Darnell's (djkardkreations) NBUS Challenge 5 - if you don't know Darnell and have not visited her blog then you really need to!  Darnell is one of the friendliest bloggers that I have 'met'.  Her blog is entertaining and fun and her cards are amazing. Pop along and check her out.  (NBUS means Never Before Used Schtuff)


TIME OUT Challenge #39  Make Your Mark

Fusion Card Challenge  I used the sketch element of the challenge as my starting point for the layout.


I used:
La-La Land Crafts - Top Hat Marci
Zig Real Brush Clean Color Markers
Justrite Deluxe Round Monogram Kit
