Steam Punk Sherri Baldy image used for Color It Create It Show It Off Challenge--ATG

Never be afraid to try something new.  For me, I've always been in awe of Steampunk images but just never knew where to start with the transformation!  With some guidance from a friend, thanks Cindy!, I started on my journey using Img 131 from Sherri Baldy~  It can be found here .  I used it to REMIND everyone that there is an ATG Challenge still going on over at Color It Create It Show It Off.  You've Got to come join in the Fun we're having! 

I've been holding on to this awesome gear paper for just this moment-in golds and blacks.  After coloring him with copics, I used glossy accents on the watch faces and his goggles.  I added some cardstock gears and topped them off with metal Tim Holtz gears.  A rub-on watch in the corner finishes off the card front.  On the inside, I had this grungy classy brown letter paper, added a gear and voila!  Perfect!
We have great fun with our Challenges here and get so inspired with your creations so please come and play with us!!

Always Anything Goes over at Craft Your Passion! Sponsored by Crafty Sentiments this week! Ya'll Come!

I have a real cutie for you this week and her name is Emmi Lou-Poppy for You from Crafty Sentiments .

 If you're lucky enough to win the Challenge on Craft Your Passion, You will win 3 digi images of your choice from Crafty Sentiments!
After coloring this cutie with Copics, I used Aged Rose Frantage embossing enamel from Stampendous around her, heated it up and ooo'd and awww'd! I mounted a deep pink polkadot embossed cardstock as a mat, added a blinged out Butterfly to her flower and gems to her vintage inspired design paper.  I used a paper lace strip combined with a perky striped paper at the bottom-will have to use this again 'cause I just love it!!
On the inside liner it's the beautiful stripes again, joined with a die cut frame and a KKK stamp-I love how complete these these sentiments make the cards!

Always Anything Goes at Craft Your Passion-Masculine Christmas card

 This week at Craft Your Passion, we of course celebrate the Always Anything Goes challenge that we have every week!  This weeks sponsor is Di's Digis who will be giving  $10 gift voucher to the winner!
We were given the chance to use any image of our choosing and I picked one from Lacy Sunshine!  This image is called Harry Boos Christmas Tree.  I've always loved Buffalo Plaid for masculine cards and this outdoorsy theme was right up my alley-the digi was perfect for it.  I used some green branch punchies from a friend for accents, also some laser cut wooden trees and a chipboard sentiment.  A stamped Christmas greeting will make it a perfect card for giving this year!
