Amber Postal Punk - Faery Ink - Steampunk make

Image
Amber postal Punk  is just perfect for a little steampunk journaling card. I really love making little journaling cards.  I started doing those as a way to journal but out of a typical journal.  And those little cards that I'm using to make these are really small.  About 3 inch by 3 inch. I have made a little video to share with you the process of this. And here's the actual little card that I made.  The image was colored with my copics and my gelli roll pen.  I used paints to make the background as well as collage book paper.  To finish it off I used some metal gears from my stash.  The sentiment that I used for this is from  Create with TLC I will be entering this in the following challenges: 2 crafty girls challenges  - Monochrome (browns) Cardz4galz  - Woman or Women Sassy studio designs  - Steampunk Altered eclectics  - Mixed media Country view challenges  - Industrial Hope you have a fabulous Thursday everyone.  And don't forget to ente

Woop woop it's time for a new challenge over at the FB group .  And for this time around since I was SICK like crazy last week as well as the family I just HAD to journal about it when I found this great image 289 . And since I really WASN'T feeling really alive.... I figured she would be a zombie and I would go with my favorite color combos purple and green! I used a lot of stencils on this make but one that I know who it's from is Tim Holtz bubble one (BTW for the designers of stencils, you should always put the names on the stencils.... it would be easier for us when we throw the packages to remember what we are using... just a thought).  I used some Faber castel oil pastels for the background with some baby oil to spread it (smelled awesome).  Then I used my Deep purple archival ink as well as my wilted violet distress ink.  I also stamped with my Paper artsy stamps (they are really getting to be one of my go to stamps in Stazon olive green. The digi was colored

For this little make I did a special make with my daughter:)  You can see the video here: The only sad part is that I didn't have a good weekend luck wise either.... and I reformated my little card so lost the beginning footage of this.  So you only see the ending part of the make.  Oh well it is what it is right?!? I went with some green colors that reminded me of spring!!!  I added a bunch of bling sequins and bingo chips I stamped as well with my paper artsy stamp in the background. I hope you like this!!! I am entering this little journaling card in the following challenges: Artistic in
