Simply Steampunk’s First Challenge

Happy Friday and welcome to Simply Steampunk’s very first challenge for 2013. Our first challenge is one that I know everyone enjoys. The theme is “Anything Goes.”

The rules are very simple:

• You must use an SBS Steampunk image.
• Your project must be a new project, no back linking.
• Link to your blog post via the linky tool at the end of the challenge’s post.
• And, HAVE FUN!

For my project I used a digi from Simply Betty’s Stamp’s FairyTales and Myths Steampunk Collection. I would like to introduce you to “MomentoMori.”  Ms. Mori is just one of the many beautiful digis in this collection. My finished piece is a card, but right now I think I may turn it into a mixed-media piece or something for my art journal.

 

I colored Momento Mori with Copics, trimmed around the boarder, mounted her on Kraft cardstock, and then added some tatting around her. I hope this made her look a little more vintage.
 

 

Other supplies are:

Cardstock: Core’dinations Tim Holtz Kraft Core; SU black and Kraft.
Embossing Folder: Sizzix Tim Holtz Alternations Spring Time Background.
Die cut: Cheery Lynn Designs Spiderweb.
Inks: Distress ink in Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender
Other: Tatting and brad from my stash.
