Our new theme at
has been chosen by the lovely Sandie
and she wants us to go with
STEAMPUNK!
This was my first ever attempt at Steampunk.
I checked out some tutorials from my lovely friends Chrissy
and also some gorgeous projects from Janette
and this is what I came up with.
I ended up with pretty gross looking fingers lol
but I had great fun.
I used fun foam to cut the cogs using
The jigsaw piece was cut out in foam
and I even glued on all the little left over
pieces from the die cuts.
I then added a soft clay butterfly and rose
that I had made years ago.
Everything was then coloured using black
paint and allowed to dry.
I then went in with my finger using
metallic rub ons.
I mounted it onto black card to finish.
I would like to enter this into
Hope you get time to join us!!
We have had a storm blowing from last night
and it's set to stay for the day.
