Good morning, have you seen the new 'Punky Flowers' stamps from Chocolate Baroque, they are fab-u-lous! I love steampunk and these flowers have got such a beautiful quirky steampunk feel I think they are going to be a firm favourite!
As soon as I saw this little 'desk lamp' flower I thought of snowdrops and set to with my distress inks to create the background. The image has been stamped and embossed and painted with Twinkling H20s and I've stamped the beautiful steampunk lacy border from 'Steampunkery' and embossed with a sparkly white EP.
I've kept the card fairly simple, embossing around the edge and matting on some green card. I created the card blank with a Martha Stewart punch and to finish off added some white ribbon and a pretty button.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Addicted to stamps: beautiful button
Card Mania: flowers
Craft your Passion: floral delights
Paper Playtime: embossing
Ribbon Girls: add a button

Thanks for popping by

It's lovely Claire. Those flowers are delightful and made me think of a desk lamp too as soon as I spotted them.

Stunning Claire, I love the colours used :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 'snowdrops' & I love that background. The gold works beautifully with the green & I particularly like the way you ribbon echoes your 'lampshades'.
