Steampunk!

I have been reading multiple blogs with steampunk stuff. It fascinates me because I love gear type things, flowers and butterflies! So this is the result of a million ideas running around in my head! I like how my first attempt at steampunk turned out. I am on to my second attempt and actually hope to get more cards made sooner.

This was fun!

Special Birthday Card

This is a card I made for a very special person for her 60th birthday! I have been working on this card for a while. The flower is made from 30 or so layers of tissue paper sprayed with Viva Pink and Fully Purple Glimmer Mist. The tissue paper was cut with Spellbinders Peony dies in three different sizes. The background paper was embossed with Sizzix embossing folder Vines. The leaves are cut from wool felt and are Spellbinders Small Sunflower set. Of course, the white glitter paper is punched with Martha Stewart's Iron Gate punch! Oops, I forgot the swirls at the bottom are Spellbinders Doodle Parts in wool felt.

The paper is DCWV as usual but you can't see the glitter in the white. I glittered the big white brad in the center of the flower with the same type of glitter. Hope she loves it, she is such a wonderful person!
