Steampunk ATCs

 Good morning- and here's something completely different from me! I've never made ATCs before but wanted to play  along with the new challenge blog,  Steampunk Challenge.  I have to say I really enjoyed creating these tiny projects and I could get completely hooked, such a great way of trying out different techniques and using some of the tiny stamps that get a bit lost on a card. I do love Steampunk style too- the mixture of fantasy , time travel  and technology really appeals to my imagination. My base cards (carefully measured) were cut from a previously made experiment using brushos and texture paste. I added a bit of stencilling and stamping. 

This one is my favourite- I stamped and embossed the boot, added a little colour with a bronze metallic pen and fussy cut. I stamped and fussy cut a pair of wings which you can't actually see because I stuck the feathers on top, then added them to the base. The row of  metallic hearts are actually silver, look quite dark in the photo. 

For the second one I used another stamp from the same set,  stamped and embossed but left uncoloured this time. Tore the edges and sponged with distress ink. Added some cogs and a button and a tiny metal plaque that says 'why not?'The silver elements are the chain, safety pin and key charm.

These were such fun to make and I really enjoyed doing something that was, for me, a little bit different.

Thanks for stopping by
