Welcome
Warning - Photo Heavy Post!!
I will try and keep my words few :)
This was made for a Steam Punk fan.
The background was created from a textured card, embossed with a Tim Holts Industrial folder which I had wiped Versamark ink over before using, then I brushed copper Perfect Pearls over the embossed panel. Love the grungy result.

The ephemera are from a local (New Zealand) design called 3/4 Designs

The vertical stamp was embossed onto a snippet of smooshed card - I think it was Catherine Pooler Queen for a Day ink, very very dilute.

The details on the flowers is fantastic, so here is a close up

The insert also had some ephemera.

I enjoyed making this, and the recipient was appreciative of it too.

Wow Maxine what a great card. So intricate with all the details and so much fun to look at. Great job.
I have some of the Perfect Pearls and have never known how to use them....I'll have to try this because I know it makes it shine so pretty. LOVE all the details on this wonderful card Maxine. Beautiful!

That background is lovely and very appropriate for Steampunk.
I love Steampunk - when you think of it it works for either male or female. Yes, you can even get away with roses and butterflies for a man and cogs and wheels for a woman.
Lovely card.

What a fabulous steampunk card Maxine! I love that embossing folder and I love the look you were able to get with the Versamark ink and cooper Perfect Pearls! Very cool looking indeed. The ephemera is perfectly steampunk and I love the details it has. I can imagine you had fun making this card and I can see why the recipient appreciated it too! Hugs, Brenda
