Simply Steampunk Challenges

Good Morning! Hope your all well! Been a busy busy few days here - today we take the kids to Peppa Pig World! They don't know it yet….. can't wait to see their little faces!  

So I'm here today with my final post a GDT over at Simply Steam Punk Challenges :(  

I have to say although these images are not what I would normally pick up to play with I have LOVED every moment of playing with them!!!

So today there is a new challenge starting and the theme is 

'Metal' 

 

I did kind freeze when I saw the challenge - I coloured the image about 5 times and nothing looked right so I went somewhat simple….. 

I know what your thinking, not your normal sentiment for a steampunk! But for some reason every time I looked at her the words just popped into my head!  I coloured the image with copics; 

E21, E51, R37, R39 

C0, C1, C2

The sentiment and frame round the image were cut on my cameo.  The metal corner was from my stash and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts :) I do hope you like my creation, if you have time I would love to know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you will join the wonderful team over at Simply Steampunk's Challenges :)

Simply Steampunk Release

Good Morning, well by the time this is live it will be very early in the morning and I hope to be sleeping!  So as you can guess from the title of this post I'm here to share something with you that is WAY out of my comfort zone!  I have once again gone back to being girly and pretty with my creations - So this was a shock to the system!!  

A while ago a new challenge blog was set up called Simply Steampunk Challenges - I was lucky enough to apply for a GDT spot and so here I am today to share with you my 1st creation!!! I am so excited to be given this opportunity even if it is way out of my comfort zone!! 

So over to what I have made!  I have been given the beautiful Aries to play with for this challenges, you will fine her very soon over at Simply B Stamps! 

She is a wonderful image to colour, I coloured her using copics 

E00, E02, 

BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18

Getting Down and Dirty with Keith, Tim and...

A Steampunk.... yes that is what I have just told my husband, she shock in his voice was so funny!  He has taken youngest to snakes and ladders, its an indoor soft play area and he left me here with nothing to do! and just to clarify, were taking Keith Urban, Tim Holtz and a Digi Stamp!

Anyway firstly I want to share a picture of the bedroom that was plastered yesterday! looking good... I can't wait for it to dry!!! Getting excited about painting it! Thinking colour schemes and carpets now! 

Now for a dirty photo! This was after washing my hands with lynx shower gel! I just couldn't resist this shop, enjoying taking photos at the moment, using an app on my phone instagram, LOVE it! you can do all sorts with it! and share them and follow others, if you have an iPhone I would recommend getting it for just playing around with! 

I have used the gorgeous LIL Victorian Luca! He has been in a file on the computer that I forgot about, I have had him for ages I also think that I have never had the courage to colour him! You may have noticed my going throughout a 'brown' phase! Im not sure whats come over me, but Im loving colouring in brown and distressing and ahh its bliss! and I love being messy too!

I pulled out my TH dies, as well as the adage tickets and a charm from my stash and the ink was TH Vintage Photo.  The card base was made from a piece of 12x12 kraft card I had in my stash and the die cuts were cut from the paper too, then distressed them with the TH ink!  

He was coloured with pencils all except the skin, usual suspects here.... E02, E00, E000 and R20 for his cheek! The pencils I'm using are Prismacolours, I got them from e-bay a week or so ago and I LOVE using them - Want to get some more! 

I also used some orange in this one to make him stand out a bit more! I have to say I don't know what I was scared of, he was lovely to colour!! 

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

Aud Sentiment Challenge - Love 

CropStop -Time (The TH Clock Die)

 Simon Says Stamp- Anything Goes

Truly Scrumptious - Something forgotten (Digi Stamp)

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
