Steam Punk

We have fantastic sponsors, Kenny K, Lacy Sunshine and Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

I have used a Kenny K image called Lady Victoria and being my first Steam Punk card I decided to use mainly Black and Blues for colours.

I have also used a Tim Holtz Die called "On the Edge", a Sizzix Die 659706 "Rondeaux" and the clocks have been stamped in Pacific Point and I am sure the image is a Non Sequitur.

Here is my card:

The paper and lace are from my stash and the sentiment is a circular sentiment from Lily of the Valley.

The image has been coloured in with Copic Markers.

Here is a closer look at the image:

The Copics used were:

Hair: E57, 53, 50

Clothes: N6, 4, 2, 0, B0000, 000, 00, 5, 4
