I have a Steampunk Floral arrangement today that features stamps from Chocolate Baroque's new gorgeous set - Punky Flowers. This set is fun & provides unlimited design possibilities.
I created the background with Blue & Turquoise Dylusions Inks and blended Dusty Concord Distress Ink over the Mini Gears TCW stencil. I stamped the wire branch with Vintage Sepia Versafine Ink & a larger flower with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink over the background. "Bliss" is from the Artistic Affirmations set.
I embossed the flowers with Bronze (twice to decoupage) & coloured with Tom Bow markers. The finishing touches are rhinestones and mini gears from Tim Holtz.
Here is a look at the Punky Flower set. I had the biggest smile when I first had a look at these designs - how cool are the "Cog Trees" & "Lamp Flowers"? This set is on special during the launch month of May.
If you have a chance please visit Chocolate Baroque's Design Team blog to see beautiful creations by my talented teammates.
Thanks for your visit & have a great day,
Shirley

Yummy colours Shirley and those flowers look awesome, I really must try embossing the edges of mine one day as I always admire how yours turn out.

I love these flowers, they are gorgeous. The pink of the flowers looks lovely against the blue background. I fell in love with these stamps the moment I saw them. I ordered them friday and they arrived yesterday, so hopefully I will have time to play with them over the long weekend.

The background large 'ghost' gears are a terrific foil for the stamped images & I love your use of the Bronze & browns rather than black - don't they just glow? The dimension & texture is a delight & I love the gradation of colour on those flower petals. You matting picks up & enhances the colours perfectly.

Liebe Shirley, mit dieser Karte ist dir wieder ein wunderbares Kunstwerk gelungen. Die schönen Steampunk-Blüten sehen auf dem blauen Hintergrund so großartig aus. Die Karte ist ein Traum!
Liebe Grüße, Bärbel
Die Karte ist wirklich ganz zauberhaft. Die rosa Blüten und die Steampunk Kreise sind ein toller Kontrast zu dem blau türkisen Hintergrund.
