Steampunk Fairy...


PROCESS INVENTORY
IMAGES: 
Drawing by
Sarah Trumpp
  • I used Meridith Dillman's "Steampunk Doll" from the Fairies Collection at Sweet Pea Stamps.
  • My Watermark is brand new - it is a prize for a challenge I won!  The sponsor, Sarah Trumpp, offered to draw what ever image I wanted so  I chose to have a Steampunk woman drawn in my image.  I am so tickled with it - I plan to use it as my watermark for all my projects!  Thank you Sarah!
  • Inside assembled from leftover papers.
PAPER:  
  • Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.
  • DP used for matting is from stash.
  • Corners rounded with a Corner Chomper.
EMBELLISHMENTS: 
  • A metal "gizmo" purchased at a Bead Shop was strung with brown waxed linen twine to mimic the lines in the image.
  • A Tim Holtz small paperclip was used to support one end of a very small tag with a sentiment.
  • A green star shaped bling hangs from her ear.
  • All the "metal" pieces of her costume were coated with Versafine ink, dusted with clear EP and heat embossed to give it shine.

    4. Love it, love it, love it!!! Wonderful card and watermark!!! I love all the details you put into your card. The clothing flows and flounces beautifully. He cheeks are so soft and blended so well along with her eyelids, forehead and ears. Love the blue metal pieces. This is one of my favorite images that you've colored.

    7. I left a comment and then it went . . . blip and disappeared. Hope this doesn't duplicate. Anyway, just wanted to say this is a GORGEOUS card, Ginny. Truly this illustrates our mutual philosophy that a nicely colored (and in your case here sublimely colored) image and well chosen papers don't need much embellishment. Now if you'd loaded this beauty up with 'stuff' she wouldn't stand out nearly as much. And I like your steampunk image, it suits you well.
