There is a steampunk/vintage challenge going on at Lost Coast Designs blog.

 Hi stampers and other crafty people.

Do you love steampunk and vintage?

Than join the challenge and have a chance to win some rubber stamps.

Here's my DT example.

I made a slimline card, here is the step by step.

This is what I used:

LCD stp fly with bird.

stp Dirigible.

Pieces of calligraphy.

Gears 2.

CV art wings to fly.

Derwent Inktense pencils

Stazon Dove grey

A waterpoof black

Distress ink Wild honey,

Vintage photo,

Mowed lawn

Twisted citron.

Mica sheet.

White gell pen.

I started by stamping the Fly with bird stamp with black waterproof ink

on watercolor paper.

Color her in with the inktense pencils.

I chose green, yellow and gray,

 because I didn't want to use the traditional steampunk/vintage colors this time.

When you're done coloring, cut out the steampunk girl.

You can use sissors or a knife, what ever works the best for you.

Now we make the background.

Make with the 4 colors and some water ink puddles.

The main part with the distress ink vintage photo and wild honey.

And with the green colors we do some ink here and there.

I used a piece of mica, so you have more control over where the ink goes.

Leave some space to print the other stamps.

With the gears 2 background stamp and Distress ink Mowed lawn I stamped here and there.

Because I wanted to keep it very subtle I stamped second and third generation.

With the Stazon dove gray I stamped in the left under corner

and the right upper corner with the pieces of calligraphy.

And did the same with the dirigible stamp in the top left corner.

I stamped with black stazon.

The text "Art gives my soul wings to fly",

Now glue on the steampunk lady and mat with gray.

I hope you liked it,

and maybe you will also make something for the challenge.

If you participate you have a chance to win beautiful stamps.

You have until the end of the month.

You can find the rules here.

See you at the challenge.
