Welcome
A change of genre today , this was made for a young man who is fascinated by steampunk.
It was a difficult card to photograph as the background paper is actually a sheet of paper from my spray box, with layer upon layer of mica spray.... so lots of glimmer and shine... and some wording from whatever is was originally showing through.

I was able to emboss, using Platinum E.P. the vertical Happy Birthday
The edges of the paper and the base card were also embossed with the same embossing powder

I used the cut outs from a 3/4 Designs paper pack called Gizmo Escapades

And a few die cut, dull gold cogs from an old Marianne die set

I finished the inside with a strip of the background paper

I can imagine the shimmer, and yes it is so hard to photograph, but I can see you enjoyed making it. CarolG
Cute card! I like all the elements that you used. Nice arranging!
Looks great Maxine, I do love steampunk!
Love the shimmer on this and when I pinched the photo- I could almost feel the ‘Happy Birthday’ embossing!!

Fantastic steampunk card! Wonderful! The embossing just makes it regal!!! --Becca S
This is so pretty.
Wow, this is so cool. That background is really something. It would be very expensive paper if purchased in a store. Such a fabulous steampunk card!
A lovely mixed media creation Maxine, sounds perfect for the recipient and those backgrounds are certainly getting used.

Cool! I have been known to use the paper from my spray box too lol. Thanks for joining us at The Funkie Junkie Challenge. =)
This card looks lovely but I bet it shows up even better in real life with all that glimmer that there is.
I used to be a real fan of Steampunk, still am a little, and I would be thrilled to receive a card like this one.
God Bless, Neet xx
