Things With Wings

I had a much needed boost today when I saw a card I entered into a Steampunk Challenge at 

That Craft Place was chosen to be in the Top 3, many thanks. Their current challenge is Things With Wings, a very wide choice but having recently purchased some Megaflakes from Indigo Blue, I've been playing with an old favourite stamp from Elusive Images, which has a butterfly as the focal point. 

I coloured white card with several DI, stamped the image with Black ink. I sprinkled some gold Frantage and heated from below to melt and set. I re-stamped the butterfly using Flitterglue and and sprinkled Lancashire Rose Megaflakes over the butterfly area. The butterfly was attached to the main card with a little silicone glue on the thorax. Matted onto gold mirri. Tied with two pieces of gold ribbon. 

Distressed Steampunk

Time for the guys to be distressed in a Steampunk setting. I am entering this card into two challenges.
Over at That Craft Place held on Sundays - for Steampunk and at Allsorts a Saturday challenge with Distressing as their theme. Thanks to both for great inspirational cards and  interesting challenges.

Old book pages cover the main card and were coloured with Vintage Photo DI. A white piece of card was coloured with several Distress Inks, splattered with Cosmic Shimmer red spray, The background stamps are from a Creative Expressions set - Flight - the men in black are from Tim Holtz , the other gentleman is from Kanban - Jasper set. May I take this opportunity to thank my recent new six followers, I am thrilled to see you and hope I can continue to provide an interest for you.
