Of course, I had to look at tons of blogs/cards/posts to get a feel of what steampunk is....lol...I still don't "get" it. But, my friend Carol gave this a try, so I figured why not??
Skip ahead....idea is formulated this afternoon, image is printed, papers decided on, ready, set, craft! So, I am all set. Then, my son comes in...MOM!! I just fell off my bike... Yep, trip to afterhours and a fiberglass slint later...here is a toned down version of the card in my head!
I am not sure I really nailed this challenge, but I diamond plate embossed some silver paper, and used a cool black and silver swirl paper for a bit of an accent....silver brads and silver washers. All papers were scraps...and just to tell you the booboo I made....I attached the image backwards to the black cs...lol
I think I will send this to a girlfriend who is single again....see if she can't find a smile and wash that man away...lol
Thanks for stopping in!
Huggz,
April

Hey, April, this rocks! Don't know why you are so critical of this card, 'cuz it's great! Very creative and your friend should definitely enjoy it!
I love your take on it! I think that that is what is so cool about Steampunk...you can put just about anything together and it works! Thank you for joining us at SSD
Are you kidding me?? This is AWESOME!! Those washers paired with that sentiment and all the grey gun metal are genius!!
P.S. Hope DS is feeling better and on the mend! Glad it wasn't a break!! Can he have people sign his splint?
