Feeling Punkish

Feeling a little punkish today.  Steampunk-ish, that is!  Steampunk is a little out of my comfort zone, but I love the projects my teammates have shared.  Today I started with a wonderful folding card.  the four pages all fold in and the card becomes a box-like square.  Each of the flaps is meant to hold an oversize tag, but I haven't started on those yet.  The stencils and cutting dies are from my own collection.  That's really one of the things I love best about the Altered Pages collage sheets.  No matter what your favorite medium, you can incorporate them! 


Each side of this multi-panel card has five 6" x 6" panels and two 2.5" x 6" panels


The small panels fold up inside to create pockets.





 
Inks in both warm and cool colors
The majority of Altered Pages collage images are from these three sheets:
 385D Postcards
2605 Fly with Steam
3042 Steampunked Machines
 
 
I hope you enjoyed today's project.  Stop over by Altered Pages and be inspired to create your own art.  Bye for now.

  3. This is terrific - I'm not really much of a card-maker - not my thing...but this is one that I'm going to give a try at. And for your first steampunk work, it's quite spiffy! I like it a lot.
    Now off to figure out how to join those 6" squares together!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
