Hello lovely people, nice of you to hop on by.
So as you may be able to guess from the title the whole Steampunk wave has hit the crafting world and left me for dust..
Don't get me wrong the style is kinda quirky and usually that's totally me but i just can't get my head around it at all! The best i could manage was this one ickle ATC...
I stamped the coggy jar onto the base, Layered up a ferro coated grungeboard key with a couple of wing charms, a timmy gear and 3 photo anchors with a brad in the centre to create the propeller. I then used some green stazon to stamp the plain jar onto some acetate, and i mounted this over the base to encapsulate the piece, held on by faux screw snaps.
So after many further failed attempts.. you could say i ran out of stream!! lol
All that was left was the Punk!
Some nice pinky paper, a couple of fab background stamps, {i used dogtooth and punk plaid} Some grungeboard skulls coated in Black and White Enamel Accents, a few stamped and cut out Stars with a bit of bling to finish them off and Jobs a good'en!
*****
So is there a style you just can't master!!
Why not leave me a comment..

I'll announce the winners next time i post which will be on the 7th Sept so plenty of time to enter.

Think the ATCs are just great! I'd give one a good home.
ReplyDeleteThose inspiration jars are fab... going on the list!! And how funny, I was messing around with that skull yesterday... just need to finish him off.
how cool! gimme gimme gimme ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a different way to use those grunge skulls. I know about steam trains etc. but a bit unsure of the punk bit except the red trousers my son had in the '70s which were covered in zips!
ReplyDeleteLuv Joanne xx
I like steam punk and people say my work is like that, but when i look at steam punk stuff it doesnt seem to be like it, so I am confused, Ill just carry on doing my thing and leave the labels for others to put on. Love your punk especially the black skull :)
ReplyDeleteLove your ATC's, great colours and I love Steampunk. I'm absolutely hopeless at cute oh and minimal, I just cannot do minimal. I would love to go into the draw to win one of your ATC's. Have a lovely day, Tracy x
ReplyDeleteVintage. Can't do it, and it's not for lack of trying!
