Steampunk!
It is "Steampunk" all the way at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and the design team has some punky inspiration for your viewing pleasure! There is always a little prize from Cottage Crafts, so won't you join us for a new stamping adventure in the world of Steampunk?
When I started my DT tag, I realized that I don't have a large selection of "Steampunk" stamps, but Tim Holtz came to the rescue! The tag background was Distressed Inked with Age Mahogany, Rusty Hinge, Weathered Wood and Tea Dye, then I stamped the background with Black Archival and embossed it with a large Sizzix gear embossing folder. Inked over the raised areas with Vintage Photo, Distressed the edges and inked with Walnut Stain. I inked another piece of manila paper with the same colors and stamped the guys with Black Archival, fussy cut those boys and did the same inking with a piece of tissue paper, torn the edges and shaded with Walnut Stain. The metal pieces were colored with Terra Cotta and Ginger alcohol inks. I added a few old watch gears and chain with Glossy Accents.
