CAS meets Steampunk!

Hi everyone, thanks for all the lovely comments you've left recently. A quick post from me today. Just thought I'd share a card I'd been asked to make. Sometimes keeping it simple is what's requested ....hence the title. I thought I'd take the opportunity to combine it with the current challenge over at SanDee & amelie's  blog which is 'Three's my lucky number' .


I hope it scrapes in as an entry...definitely a trio and watch, cogs and grungy background with gilding fit the steampunk bill......just hope it's not too CAS!!


The background is a brayered acrylic ink one from a recent post, with a little florentine treasure gold over the embossed areas. Thanks for stopping by.

  29. I know you did this awhile back but i just had to comment on how beautiful this is!! I have recently been introduced to Steampunk and am fascinated by the style of art. You ABSOLUTELY nailed it!! I would have never thought that Steampunk could be CAS but you executed it beautifully.. You should take this to House of Cards the theme is metallic.. I think this would be fantastic addition. I agree with Martha, I am insanely in love with this card!! Just....well.....WOW!

  31. I just found this beautiful creation on Pinterest and had to come and visit your blog to leave a comment.
    Your creativity is amazing! I would never have thought to use grungy steampunk with crisp clean white and yet you have shown how very classy it is. My own cogs are working overtime now dreaming up ways to use these types of opposites together.
    Thank you for the inspiration. I will definitely be keeping an eye on your blog from now on.
    Happy crafting. Linda x

    You reference "The background is a brayered acrylic ink one from a recent post". Can you please share the link to the post?

  33. Any chance you can link the post in which you made this background? It's beautiful and would love to know the details. Thanks!

  34. I would also like to know what a brayered acrylic ink is and how you use it to make the panels so beautiful. I just love your card and can't help but just sit and admire it.
