Time Flies

It's the first day of a brand new challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity:  Vintage Steampunk.

I'm here with a super easy steampunk card using the Time Flies stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

Be sure to check out the Steampunk category on the LCD website - there are some great steampunk designs there.

The background for this card was made by using ModgePodge to apply a piece of decorative rice paper to a square cut piece of a brown paper bag.  Once smoothed out and dry, I trimmed around the edges, leaving a bit of the brown paper showing at the top and bottom.  I then layered this with a piece of decorative scrapbook paper cut slightly larger and edged that with a gold ink pen.

The image was stamped with black StayzOn ink onto a piece of off white textured paper and fussy cut out.  I cut around the clock face behind the girl's

 face and edged the whole with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  Using a gold pen, I filled in sections of the design to make it look like brass.  I added a bit of color to the girl's cheeks and lips as well as the background behind the lock, then affixed the image to the center of the front with foam tape to give it some dimension.  I added a steampunk heart and vintage button as shown, and that's a wrap!

Please join us for the super fun challenge going on right now through the end of February for a chance to win some free rubber stamps!
