Sassy Steampunk

This card is this weeks Dare to be Sassy challenge at Sassy Studios, which this week has a sketch to follow.  The image I've used is one of the Steampunk Duos and I LOVE IT!!!

 You might be asking why I have coloured them so differently and yet used the sentiment 'For My Twin', but being a Fraternal (non-identical) Twin myself I think it's important to realise that to be a Twin does not automatically mean you are identical and also does not mean you are the same person!
So just thought I'd illustrate that in my card for something a bit different :-)!!

I shall also be linking up to Make It Monday

Pocket Watch

So I've made this for the Studio L3 Compendium of Curiosities Challenge, which is the pocket watch an can be found on page 35 of Tim's book.  This week's challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.  The only problem is I am seriously lacking in time and funds at the moment so have been unable to get the essential component of the Pocket Watch itself, so not sure if I am allowed to enter it, but will anyway.

So as is my way - I made one out of clay instead:

 I added a scalloped circle of pearl paper, then a clay rose I had made and covered the entire thing with glossy accents and while it was drying sprinkled some red glitter over the top just to add a little bit more interest!!

 So admittedly a bit rubbish but needs must! Hey ho!

Father's Day Card

Hello Bloggers,

I thought I'd share my card for Father's Day with you:

 I used the Tim Holtz wood stamp for my background, stamped with Frayed Burlap DI clear embossed it, then distressed the edges and went over the whole ting with Walnut Stain, then mounted it on some gold mirror board.

 Then I Printed and foiled the image and the sentiment on some black card and used gold foil and mounted these onto gold mirror board and attached to the background with foam tape. Then added some little bling in the corners of the image to finish it off.

 Printed and foiled an insert to finish it off completely and taa daa!!

I shall be entering this into the following challenges:
Saturday Challenge - Happy Father's Day
Milk Coffee Challenge - Embossing
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
