Steampunk production at full steam

It's been a while I know but, this weekend I got a boot up the backside.  OK it was last weekend when hubby booked us to do a Steampunk weekend at the National Railway Museum in Shildon at the end of September.

This week I have made 15 cards (will be photographed later) 2 canvases, a pen holder, stand alone word and 4 plaques, (only two plaques included here as I stupidly decided to use glossy accents, so hopefully that will be dry by the end of September!!)

First up the two canvases, some of you may have seen the first one already as it was on FB last night.

Next up the two plaques

Now for the pen pot

Last but by no means least the stand alone word

I will be at the event in Shildon on the 27th September and possibly on the 26th as well.  Pop by and say hello, and have a peek at what my other half does for shits n giggles.

Dragon's Dream TIO DT Piece - C and Metal

Well this time it was my long term twitter buddy's turn to choose the theme and she went with C and metal.  I started by making a tag blank from white smooth card and covering it in a random blend of Butterscotch, Terracotta and Pebble alcohol Inks, I then cut Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets in Tim Holtz self adhesive foil and cut the Corner Flourishes, and Cogs Edger from Tim's Sizzix Range in his self adhesive metal card and used the same alcohol inks to rust these up.  I stamped the clock face from and word the Timeless set which combines G45 with Sizzix dies I aged these down with a touch of Vintage Photo Distress ink and added in the clockhands from Papermania Chronology range with a brad.

I would like to enter this fir the following challenges:
