Make My Monday Week 15
The theme at Make My Monday is still steampunk and this week they are asking for monochromatic designs. I just had to use one of the' fashionista' images from the steampunk set by Kanban which arrived on my doormat very recently!! I'm not totally happy with the result here because I think a large image like this should be on a larger card but at the moment I don't have any without going out shopping and visits to craft shops always end up costing me more than I think they will so I used what I had. Background stamps are mostly from the 7 gypsies set I used last week apart from the cogs (they actually don't show much) which are from the Chocolate Baroque steampunk Christmas set. The background was sponged with Peeled Paint distress ink with the addition of a little Adirondack pesto. I also used some Tim Holtz tissue tape and a little piece of lace which I coloured with the distress ink - not really happy with this either but it was far too white without colouring. I might have another go later on when I've caught up with myself after last weekend - being out of the house for three days takes me ages to get back to normal (whatever that is).

Oh I do sympathize about the being out of the house bit - I've needed to do some chores in town so the day's seem to have vanished without achieving much. I'm really enjoying these Steampunk themes & I like your creative take with this - amazing image & I do like the eclectic mixture of cogs & lace with the balloon & watch. Hope you get some rest & recover.

I actually really like the scale of the mannequin on your card and it looks fab with the aperture effect and your gorgeous stamped background. I know exactly what you mean about catching up after being out for a few days - good luck with getting back to normal! Vx

Love this card Val. I bought both the sets that were on the other day. As I have been away I've not had a chance to use them yet, but am planning my Niece's birthday card with them.
