Steampunk Karin

I'm still trying to play catch-up

with all the different challenges

and lucky for me,

Stampotique Designers Challenge

although updated with a new challenge each week,

is actually open for the whole month.

So ........

Challenge #148 - STEAMPUNK 

I started off with a tag that had already been previously coloured

using Distress Inks blended together.

Using 'gathered twigs' Distress Ink and 'Mini Gears' stencil

I created the background.

I then used Ferro 'steel'
(metallic texture paste)

over the 'Mini Time Travel' stencil

in three areas on the tag to create some texture

and left it for a couple of hours

to make sure it was well & truly dry.

Next the 'ghost clock' from Heidi Swap was attached using a brad.

I've had the pack of 'ghost clocks' in my stash for years and now there are only two left.

I wonder if they are still available?

  I stamped Karin and coloured her with watercolour pencils,

adding highlights with a metallic silver pen

and the heart with 'majestic purple' Liquid Pearls

before attaching her with dimensionals.

As an extra embellishment, I fussy cut three postage stamp images

from Graphic 45 "Steampunk Spells" paper.

A piece of 'natural' lace finishes the tag off.

 Happy Crafting!!!
