One Year Older

This month we have an stunning Steampunk image to play with for the Gecko Galz Steampunk Monthly Challenge.

One day I will be able to do these images more justice!

After printing my image, I sponged the edges with Black Soot distress ink.

I cut a kraft matt for it and sponged the edges of it with Vintage Photo distress ink.

Using an embossing folder, I dry embossed the front of my card base.

Now when I placed my matt and image on top, I decided it needed something else.

So I ran a glue stick around the darker edge parts of the image and rubbed some gold flakes into it.

Much better I think you will agree.

So then I matted the image and adhered to the card base.

I found this saying on one of my scraps of paper from Graphic 45. 

Perfect for it and I love the grungy feel it has given it.

It's a Mystery

Such a fun ATC Swap & Challenge over at Gecko Galz this month.

It's called It's a Mystery - Sherlock Holmes themed.

Here is the 3 I made for the Challenge on the Facebook page.

 

I can't show you the other set of 3 until my swap partner gets them.

I used the free ATC kit files and only had to type up a couple of quotes - lol, I am not much of a Sherlock fan I am afraid so I look forward to seeing the ones from everyone else.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
