Grungy and Steampunky

Welcome

I am determined to get a third post in this month... and by the skin of my teeth as it is the evening of the 30th here!

This card was a compilation of bits from my desk, some pieces from a collage pack I bought ??? number of years ago at a craft show, vendor no longer remembered, possibly Imagine If, and a Tim Holtz family figures (?) pack.... 

The main  background piece was a pull from some gelli printing I had previously done - I think it was called a ghost print - there was definitely gold over blue, and some textured, diecut butterflies involved in the process

I layered a half doily and the leatherette strip over that, and then the figurine, before carefully positioning the chipboard cog, which I had painted with blue and then gold paint to tie it to the background.   The flower was added on top to soften to look of the card, as it was for a woman

A few die cut silver cogs (from some very old Marianne Dies) , a pearl and some lace to finish the front.

Inside were more of the 'silver' cogs, which were cut from a 'spray box liner', so there were hints of other colours also, and some matching butterflies (punched) and more pearls
