Steampunk at FSC!

Hi there, we've got a new challenge starting over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and this time around we want to see you on the catwalk in your Steampunk creations! As always our lucky winner will receive a fabulous prize from Marina, our regular sponsor from Cottage Crafts. I love Steampunk and I really enjoyed making this necklace and tag :-)


The tag was made with lots of different metallic acrylic paints and plenty of distressing. I used my favourite cog stamps from Chocolate Baroque, some embossed card, bits of lace and ribbon and some idea-ology bits and bobs. I added a dress form from the Haberdashery stamps (also from Chocolate Baroque), painted with viva precious metal paints and given a luvverly pair of vellum wings made using stamps from Artistic Expressions themeplate and WOW gold EP.

  The necklace was made with an assortment of beads and bits and bobs from my stash, including a stampbord domino. some friendly plastic that I stamped into with stamps from CB's Texture Fragments stamps, a pendant blank that I filled with more viva precious metal paint, some watch parts and glossy accents, the large brass flower is from Prima and the resin rose was in the fabby candy I won a while ago from the lovely Hels (thank you Hels!!)


I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Bunny Zoe's: anything goes
Charizma: Metal charms
Inky Impressions: Lace or trim
Paperplay: Destruction
WOW Embossing powders: Earth tones

Thanks for popping by today
