I hope you are all well. At the moment we will be having breakfast on our cruise. When we get home I will catch up with all the blogging and comments, I will also let you know how our holiday went.
Today the new challenge starts at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog. The theme of the challenge is Steampunk. I have to admit this is one of my least favourite themes, I do struggle to make this style of card.
Anyway I will always have a go at a challenge. I created the background with some cog stamps that came free with a magazine. I heat embossed and used Distress inks to make a resist background.
Why not come a join in with our challenge and show me how this can be done properly. Click on the logo and you will be taken there.
I have had this stamp for a while it is a Heartfelt Creations stamp called All Geared Up. I stamped in black and coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. I made a frame with the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions.
I treated myself to the John Next Door Cogs Media Dies. I cut them with black card and used Pebo Gilding Wax on them. Can you see the brad in the corner it is the centre of one of the cog dies.
I wasn't sure how much I would use the cogs dies but I needed them for a card that I made for our son-in-law. So I think they were a good investment.
Have fun whatever you are doing. I will catch up with everyone soon.
Happy Crafting

Never would I have guess this theme was difficult for you, Jackie! The card is amazing, and completely steam-punky, too! Your rich colors especially draw me into all the workings and layers of your project. It's wonderful! hugs, de
