Mixed Media Steampunk Wolf

Welcome

No, I have not got lost in the Outback of Australia, it's more that I have been totally unmotivated since arriving home over a week ago.... and also beguiled by good books.

This was made for a steampunk fan, and my starting point was the image, by Gecko Galz. A freebie that was published for one of their challenges - they are a most generous group.

 

The background was made with scraps - I am not sure how I made the speckled background, it's been on my desk for waaaay to long, and IRL has a most gorgeous sparkle to it... the side panel was corrugated card with one smooth layer torn off, and bronze and gold pastes applied

The sentiment was embossed with bronze ep

The inside was decorated with an offcut of the speckled panel.

  Welcome

I am on holiday, and posting from my phone, so hopefully everything looks OK...

I would like to extended a warm welcome to two new followers - KatieL and Pam. I am sure Pam has blog at Pam's Pearl's, but have been unable to link ti it, or find if Katie has one. I am finding myself technologically challenged with some of the latest changes... and working on my phone.

I made this card for my local (NZ) swap.  It uses a technique by Natasha Foote... sorry, I can't link to the You Tube video

 

I ruled up the back ground of my tiles, rounded the corners all over the design, the filled in the shapes using three shades of green markers

After many shuffles of the resulting tiles and sentiment die cut I arrived st this layout, then added the stripes cut from the same card as the green layer, assembled all the layers, then added the rhinestones.

The inside and envelope were decorated with washi tape and a layer of the dark green card.

I will not link to any challenges... but rather end here while I am doing ok.
