I have a Steampunk Design today that was fun to create.
Chocolate Baroque Stamp sets: Artistic Expressions, Steampunk Butterfly, Steampunk Christmas (gears fragment). I also used a script stencil and Spellbinder Gear dies.
The background is Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean Distress inks blended on Mixed Media paper. I flicked water over top to create the water marks. When dry I blended Salty Ocean DI over the script stencil. I flicked black Dylusions Ink using the applicator randomly (inspired by an article in the March 2014 Craftstamper Magazine). The gear die cuts were sprayed with blue Dylusions ink and I blended black Distress Ink around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day !

Love your colorful Steampunk Design. The butterfly is really cute.

This even looks like it was fun. It has an almost industrial feel to it. Even the butterfly has a mechanical feel against the background. Nice job.
Sorry to say it is forecast for another snow storm this weekend. Wonder if there are any spare seats going to the space station until spring!
So fantastic, an unsual color combination for a steampunk creation, but really beautiful.
super, Shirley what a great steampunck creation, I love it its really beautifull in all ins details!!!
Greetings

Great composition! I like these fresh colours! Lovely details!
Wow this is stunning Shirley, I love the colours you've used. You made it feel like spring even if it's not. Hope it starts warming up for you soon.
Hope you're having an artistic week, as you can't get out very well.

This is lovely. When I make something Steam punk I use darker colors.
But this just looks great. Must think about it next time. Thanks for
showing this card. Anneke.
Love the background, super creation. Glad you have some sunshine. Skipper send purrs to Archie and Sheena. She said to tell Sheena, she understand about Archie because she did not get on with her little sister Eva very well. :)
What a beautiful card! Love the combination of stamped and die gears and the colors! Looks so sunny! Saturday is the start of the meterologic Spring and we had only a rainy Winter here, hope Spring will come your way soon.... Hugs, Gerrina
Stunning! really gorgeous huggles Sue xx
Oh Shirley, I love this! The colors are fabulous. The darker color gives just a touch of edginess. :)
Oh wow! I have never done Stampunk and yours is one of the prettiest I have seen! Love those colors and the die cuts are awesome!!
I can't believe how far behind I was on visiting you! Lots and lots of gorgeousness posted since I've been by! I love the bright spots of "sunshine" on this one!
Hey Shirley, love the subtle script blending into the background and also those two colours together. I also like the black ink spots. Another of your gorgeous steam punk creations!
Beautiful ! love the colours !

What a wonderful vibrant and amazing piece dear Shirley!
Happy weekend to you!
Another gorgeous card Shirley, and the Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean DI's are to die for. The combination of the stamped and die cut gears complement one another so well, and the background detail with the water spots, ink blots, script and tiny gears all work so beautifully together. The butterfly makes a dramatic finishing touch. Hope your weather improves soon, and enjoy your weekend. x
I love the way that butterfly just softens the whole design which is very striking & masculine. The colours are a lovely mixture against the black elements & I love the glow created by the Mustard Seed inks & how it gently blends via green into Salty Ocean. Your positioning of the script stencil flows beautifully leading the eye about the design.
Take care with the weather - we have one daffodil daring to flower midst the rain.

COOL SUPER COOL card Shirley, wowow this is awesome..xx
Brilliant colors and design for your lovely Steampunk card dear Shirley!
I was just feeling grateful for the blue sky and sunshine on a really chilly day here in northern Virginia (cold for us at least)...
Wishing you and yours a great weekend

Wow Shirley you are very industrious. Again a wonderful created card in steampunk art.
So fresh colours and the little butterfly gives the technically look a little touch of softness, so it looks well balanced.
Dear Greetings

So wonderful, love the light and bright yellow in it! ♥ Conny Mix It Monthly
Great card, Shirley. Something different this one! Beautiful colours you achieved by stamping and distressing over another colour.
Heard on television tonight that here in Holland we are having the most soft winter since the beginning of counting!!!
You can come over here to warm yourself.
Have a nice weekend. Groetjes Gery
Hi, Shirley! I'm sure you are ready for Spring! I feel for everyone affected by this terribly cold weather - dangerous as well as uncomfortable! In the meantime, your steam-punky artwork is bright and sunny - cheery, and I love the combination of elements - leave it to you to find a way of using gears and still making it feel like "mother nature is at work" behind the scenes. This is gorgeous! hugs, de
Hi Shirley, I found your blog through DJ's Kard Creations blog and Designs by Ryn. You have a really unique, beautiful style and I love it. I have added your blog to my reader.
All those Chocolate Baroque stamps are just gorgeous. I wish I could buy them all! [You'll understand why i can't if you visit my blog.:) ] You are so lucky to be on their design team.
Love your work. Nice to meet you!
Die Karte ist sensationell schön Shirley, fantastische Farben !!!
