Tea Time and a Tiny Snowman

Inspired By challenge inspired me to use their theme of tea time.   And Stamping Sensations wants a hand coloured image.

The image is stamped and watercoloured, fussy cut around its edges, bordered with some gold cs, and popped up on fun foam.

Addicted to CAS has the code word "Brrr!".  I used up some a bunch of little bits from my desk and ended up with this card.  I think that little snowman looks very cold under that night sky!  And the Four Seasons Challenge wants "winter".

I had a leftover bit of a galaxy background (created by smooshing with various oxide inks, spritzing with Perfect Pearls spray, and then covering the colours in a rough random fashion with Black Soot ink). I splattered it with watered down gesso. I added a tiny snowman and trees die, and, picking up the colours showing through the black ink, I created very thin borders of blue and pink cs.

My one and only ever steampunk card

Steampunk is so not my style!  But I decided I would make a steampunk card to thank my best friend for taking me to see a version of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors that had sets and costumes done in steampunk style.  It was a great production and we enjoyed it so much.  Here's some photos of their set:







And here's the card I was inspired to make:

 

I wanted to capture the large clock and gears from the set.  Because I'm not a steampunk person, I had to borrow the gears die from a friend.

I'm entering it in the Mixed Media Card Challenge "Friendship".  I used Distress stains with the clock stencil, ink and embossing powder for the sentiment, and textured cs for the gears die cut.

And it's going into the Less is More challenge "Technology".

That's it for steampunk for me!

Supplies:

Stamps: Printworks sentiment
