Last card of 2011!
Happy New Year! I hope you lovely people all have a wonderful, crafty 2012!
Here's a card I made for my hubby to give our daughter. She is a fan of Steampunk and Hubby doesn't do cute at all, so of course I had to use one of my favourite Tickled Pink stamps.
The current Tickled Pink Challenge is to choose a favourite challenge from last year. I combined two - no. 45 'Vintage' and no 38 'Buttons and Twine.
The designer paper at the back is Bearly Mine's 'The Boys Zone.' The vertical strip was made with Distress Inks following Tim Holtz's video here on 'Perfect Distress.' I then stamped a key pattern on top (can't tell you the stamp, it's packed away upstairs, sorry!)
The cogwheels are a Tim Holtz die. I coloured the paper in the same way with Distress Inks, then put it through a crimper to give texture before die-cutting. The sentiment is by Whimsy Stamps, and so is the die I used to cut it.
The 'twine' over the key pattern is from a piece of gold furnishing cord - I hope that's not cheating! The green buttons are from stash.
I can't give the Promarkers because I've lost the list :(
This is the inside, I embossed Luca in gold, then masked him and did the same with the vintage car. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out!
Anyway, here I am at the end of this rather long post! Thanks for looking!

PS I am currently reading a wonderful series of Steampunk Zombie novels by Cherie Priest, the first of which is called 'Boneshaker.' They are superb - and the pix on the covers are fantastic! Highly recommended! x
