The Shabby Tea Room #47: Get Creative!

Week #47 - 'Get Creative'

This week the theme is 'Get Creative'!
Design a card or project using just stamping - NO PATTERNED PAPERS ALLOWED THIS WEEK - and your own, handmade embellishment(s)!

The main idea of this challenge is to get creative with your basic supplies (i.e. cardstock, ink, stamps). For this challenge, you can consider such things like ribbon, lace, buttons and brads - basic supplies. Hand make what you can, for example - make your background paper by repeating stamping to make a pattern, or use an embossing folder to create some pattern. Hand make a paper flower as an embellishment. Use your dies and punches to make embellishments, etc. -- do not to use anything manufactured that you can attempt to hand make and 'Get Creative'!

Are you up for the challenge this week?
Well, what are you waiting for ... run to the craft space and 'Get Creating!!!
******************************
I discovered The Shabby Tea room just this past week... so this is my Newbie entry.
I made a Steampunk Card.
shhhhhh!!!
He never reads my Blog so I'm safe, this is Hubby's Valentine's Card this year.
Hallmark has yet to get on those Steampunk occasion cards... shame on them!

I used Krafting Kimmie stamps for the sentiment and figure. Hand colored (Copper hair and Grey eyes like mine) and cut out.
Clock and 'shadow' gears are a Stampin' Up! set.

I started by Glimmer Mist spraying my main background paper, some of my bottles are stuck so I pulled the sprayer out and dribbled the red, orange, yellow and green right from the lid.

Next I used my Gel-a-tins Get in Gear stamps to add some Gears.
Inked in both yellow and green.

Next was some Gear punches in Copper, rubbed down with brown ink to age/grunge a bit.
