Steampunk with Poisoned Peas

Happy Monday to all of you! Me and the Poisoned Peas Please (PPP) Design are starting our 7^th Challenge. Our theme for this month is “Steampunk.” We want to see your “Steampunk” artwork. You can make any kind of art, but it must be “Steampunk.” Your art work could be the Steampunk style with the clothing, the gears, the clocks, etc. We want to see what Steampunk means to you. Our “Steampunk” Challenge #7 starts today, Sept. 10, and ends on Saturday, Oct. 6.

Our fantastic and very talented sponsor this month is Simply Betty Stamps (SBS). Betty has given our PPP Design Team some fabulous images to work with. Betty’s prize for this challenge is three (3) images of the winner’s choice from the sheet below. These are some beautiful Steampunk images. Thank you Betty!

For my Steampunk image, I chose “The Oval Portrait” from Betty’s Steampunk Classic Collection.  Betty has captured the Steampunk costumes perfectly.

The Oval Portrait is colored with Copics and I have added a bit of sparkle with a Gelly Roll pen. I then die cut the image with a brand new design from Spellbinders, Grand Decorative Ovals One. I then distressed the edges in Distress Inks Black Soot, Milled Lavender, and Seedless Preserves. The metal gears are from the Tim Holtz collection and the chipboard gears are from Make it Crafty.

The last bit of embellishments are the flowers from my stash. The darkest one was sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Crème de Chocolate and then the edges were dragged in Lindy Stamp Gangs Starburst Jazzy Jivin’ Purple. The light tan rose edges were also dragged in the Jazzy Jivin’ Purple.

This is the list of Copics that I colored with:

Skin: E00, E1, R0;

Hair: V91, E71, E49;

Dress: V91, E71, E49, T2, T4, 6, T10;

Leaves: E81, E84, E87, E89;

Flowers: T2, T6, T10;

Skull and Bones: C00, C01, C03;

Background: W1, W3, V91.

The Oval Portrait will entered in the following challenges:

I hope you come play with us for our “Steampunk” challenge. After you have entered over at PPP’s Challenge #7, I hope you join us at The Crafter’s Café in the Poisoned Peas Please group. We would love to see your Steampunk art work.

Thanks for stopping by! Can’t wait to see your “Steampunk” style!
