A Bright & Colourful Steampunk Christmas ....

Morning all, today I'm back sharing my 2nd design team project for Creative Expressions using the A5 Steampunk Christmas designs by Sam Poole.


My background was created with the Summer Limited Edition Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn & Salty Ocean) using the "Spritz & Flick" technique.

 I have also used the A6 Bubble Wrap stamp in the background. The quote has been stamped onto cardstock from the "Neutrals Cardstock Pack" using Archival Ink (Jet Black). All the main images have been mounted with 3d foam for extra dimension. I have used Black & White Bakers Twine to hang the pennant.


 Love the effect of the Metallic Distress Stain  in Brushed Pewter when stamping.


Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment .... I'm off to the Big Stamping & Scrapbooking Show at Kettering this weekend (woop), if you are going stop by and say hello at the Creative Expressions stand where the girls (Hels, Sam & Julia) will be demoing.

Until next week .... TFL x
