Welcome to my “other” blog! This blog will represent my other loves in the art world, along with cards. I will be posting my art journal and mixed-media projects. Other art that you will see will depict Steampunk, fantasy, Gothic, horror, anything that the word “alternative” encompasses. I hope you enjoy the ride with me!

Steampunk Emma from SBS

Happy Friday to everyone! I would like to showcase a card that I created using Simply Betty Stamps “Steampunk Emma.” I love coloring these images from Betty’s Original Steampunk line.



 

I did not get to join in for the beginning of our SimplySteampunk new challenge, “Bits of Lace,” but I thought I would go ahead and add some lace. It is really tatting, or at least that’s what my Mom called it. Do you see that tiny off-white flower? That’s the tatting rolled up. I hope it does look like a flower to you. I sort of had a Zen moment while I was doing the rolling. I do like how they turned out.  The other blossoms are from my stash except for the other rolled flowers. Those were created with the Bitty Blossoms die and cut out on unbleached coffee filters. I then added some accents with Viva Décor3-D Stamp Paint in Copper. Love this stuff!



The OTHER supplies that I used for my little piece of art are:
Copics: If you would like a list, please contact me. I do keep a journal for each image that I color.
Spellbinder’s dies: Elegant Labels 4 and Romantic Rectangles
Gears: Tim Holtz Gears and Sprockets
Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! in Bravo Burgundy and Basic Black


Now, our April 5th challenge, “Bits of Lace,” does not end until May 2nd. You have plenty of time to pick up one of Simply Betty Stamps Steampunk images, and join us.

That’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
