Weekend Activities Week 2 of Challenge #89

The image is called Want to Play, isn’t she adorable?  I was at Wall-Mart (Canada) last night and found a 6 x 6  patterned cardstock pad for $4.97, not that I really needed it but all of the patterns I will used. As you can see I’m taking pictures on the deck rail al==which is great as long as the wind is calm.The background paper has gray in it so I chose to use basic gray for the base and a layer.

The inside isn’t finished yet I need to decide what one I will use it  only takes a couple of minutes to finish, my picture taking really lacks today since there is a strip of the patterned paper on the bottom of the inside.
I am entering this in Crafty Hazelnut’s Patterned Paper challenge for Jun I hope I can get it in on time.
Thanks for looking  today and have a great week.

S is for Steampunk at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Steampunk is not one of my stronger venues, but you have to step up to the plate and stare that  ball down. I gathered stock from my stash, A Tim Holtz clear set Virtual; artistry, Paper Journey by Plaid ($1.97 in a clearance store) , a gears embossing folder, a punch (found out you have to step on it to make it work)  the key is a  Marianne die/
IMG_2225
The Car and Watch are embossed with copper, fussy cut and then popped up.
IMG_2226
Even in the close-up you can’t see the copper, or maybe it’s my eyes, things are certainly very blurry but so far I’m managing.
IMG_2227
The stamp I wanted to use for the inside was at home, brought it with me and now can finish the  inside. It reads…. Another 365 day trip around the sun.
Thanks for stopping by today head over to The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and check out the rules and the awesome cards the rest of the team have done.
