I've Been Published in Just Steampunk!

Just got my advance copy of Just Steampunk! Vol. 5 and the seven cards I submitted for publication were published!!!  There is a whole page of just my cards (p.81).

The following 4 cards all feature steampunk kitty stamps from Viva Las Vegas Stamps!

I did 2 very similar cards using Graphic 45 paper and a hot air balloon stamp by Inkadinkado.

And the seventh card was made using Graphic 45 images and a Studio 112 stamp.

The best definition of steampunk I have found is: "The future as imagined in the past."   It's wheels, sprockets, gears and steam power.  Think sci-fi, Jules Verne, the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era.  I hope this gives you and idea of this popular genre.

Mariposa

The theme for August's Unruly PaperArts Challenge is "Take Flight."  Besides the creative prompts I was inspired by this paper from my favorite DCWV paper stack called "Mariposa".  The die is by Cheery Lynn and the "Thanks" is a stamp from Close to My Heart.  I used Ranger's Distress Ink peacock feathers to stamp and sponge the edges of the sentiment.  I added a bit of crystal Stickles to the butterfly's body.
