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!!

An April Release Masculine set from The Doodle Pantry-Awesome!!

 I just love this masculine set from Doodle Pantry-there are so many different ways you could use it!
I've been needing more Birthday cards so this time I decided to layer the images & sentiments as they are png's.  The design paper, watch, and sentiment are all on one layer from DP-it's great!  Then I wanted to offset the underneath layer-it's a shimmery, wheat colored, flecked natural cardstock from The Paper Cut-great weight and texture. I wrapped some black & cream baker's twine around it and used some buttons from my friend Holley.  Added a vintage style ribbon medallion and it's ready for some lucky gentleman!

Masculine Card for Birthday or Father's Day~For the "Big Wheel" from Squigglefly

 This is a great chance to combine 2 of my Favorite Design Sites!!  Squigglefly and The Paper Cut~ This new image from SF is called the Big Wheel Bike by Elizabeta Kushner.  I know I'm going to be using this a lot, changing the colors on the bike and accessorizing with so many things!
Wouldn't this make a great anytime card for your husband, son, or friend/family member?
This is the Double Hinge card that I've been having a blast with from The Paper Cut.  They have pre-scored card blanks from great weight cardstock in fabulous colors, the base of this one is Basis Lt. Brown.  I've tried turning it like this before and love the effect. I double matted the image, with a chocolate felt cs and a green from my stash. That's a black and tan baker's twine wrap and the mat is only attached halfway.  The button helps weigh it down. When lifted, it shows the neat vintage Watch paper.  I attached some manly sitckers, a die cut label with a sentiment stamped.  I just love the old time feel of this card and hope you will go to Squigglefly to check out all their great digis!  They make a card just come together!
