#84 - Shape Up

Yes, it's that time again! Challenge day at One Stitch at a Time and this week the theme is Shape Up. I used the Steampunk Watch by April of Reece's Scrap Pieces and you can buy the digi from HERE. After choosing my image I began to have doubts but I eventually managed to make my first steampunk card. Thanks April for pushing me in that direction.

I used a large square Craft UK card for the base. The bronze and silver Mirri card is from Joanna Sheen and the backing paper is from Costco. I used the Speedy Celebrations stamp set from Joanna Sheen to stamp and emboss on the backing paper. I used bronze and silver embossing powder and I was happy with the result. After colouring the digi with Promarkers and edging it in grey I cut just outside the grey lines and stuck the image to a square of bronze Mirri card which was also backed with silver Mirri card. I cut out some of the cogs and added them to the card with some Pinflair gel to give a bit of depth. One of  Tim Holtz's clasp, sentiment and chains is hanging at the right and looks as if it is attached with one of the raised cogs.

I've posted another couple of photos because the light was reflecting off the Mirri card.

Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen and the winner will receive a £10 voucher for Joanna's online store.
