Good morning folks, my card today feature the gorgeous new 'Punky flowers' from Chocolate Baroque, they are on special offer this month so they are a real bargain. I just love these quirky designs and this stamp is such fun and of course they are on special offer as this months new stamps too!
I've made a background using distress inks and stamped the cogs from Punky romance with water and blotted with kitchen towel. I've stamped the image and painted with twinkling H2Os, I created the glow around the lightbulbs by adding lots of water to the paint and letting it spread around the image. Once the paint was dry, I added distress ink in black soot and chipped sapphire around the image. The light bulbs have been glazed with glossy accents but it doesn't show up too well in the photo. To finish off i've added a red bow and a couple of transistors from the box of goodies I found in the shed.

The glow around the 'bulbs' lookas amazing & I love the sense of smokiness you achieved around the edges. The pink background really picks up on the bowls of the lamps & I love your real bits of steampunk included as embellishments. The red with the black & mauves is stunning indeed.
