Time or Steampunk at Anything Goes

That age thing is catching up with me and I've decided I need to write lists and keep a note of things so I bought some cheap notebooks and I've decided to cover them. This one is going to be a sort of to do book and is my entry into the Anything Goes Time or Steampunk challenge. I covered the book with a K&Co paper called Golden Poppies. I've used distress inks and stamps to tone down the colour a little. The stamps I've used are Cogs Background by the Artistic Stamper and a Sense of Time by Stampin Up. I've also used a sequin waste mask by Tando Creative.

The main image is Phineas Pinchbeck by Artistic Stamper which I've stamped in Gathered Twigs and coloured with Rusty Hinge distress inks and then embossed with clear powder. The Tick Tock is  from Carnival Sizzlit strip embossed once with clear powder to keep the mottled effect. The clock charm is from another jewellery piece I bought in the sale at Claire's.

 I've also added some cog-like sequins that I bought in Poundland. There are loads in the pack and they come in several different colour ways

LIM 64 - How Charming

I was sorting through my stamps trying to find a photography set that I know I have but couldn't find anywhere. I came across an old set by Stamps Away called Expressions (doll). I think it was made to fit on the old Sizzix die cut dolls. I've put this set in the "get rid of" pile a number of times but always relented and when I saw them today, I immediately thought of a fun card for this weeks Less Is More challenge called How Charming.

The sentiment is computer generated with Travelling Typewriter font. The film strip is a Tim Holtz alterations sizzlet stuck with silicone to give it a little lift and I've stamped the faces in the frames. The camera charm is from my stash

And I still haven't found my photography stamps!

Less Is More Week 12

Less Is More theme this week is a recipe of "Off Centre". I had time for a bit of a play yesterday and came up with three cards. I think this first one is my favorite but it doesn't look that clean to me. I used distress ink for the background over a Tim Holtz clock mask. The greeting is by Stampin Up from the Sense of Time set.

Less Is More Week 11 - take 2

I decided to have another go at week 11 Less Is More challenge. On this card I've used Creative Expressions Vintage Photography stamp set and Tim Holtz Filmstrip Frames die which is backed with acetate. I've pricked the top corners to finish
