Top Hats & Moustaches over at Sandee & Amellie steam

Hi everyone I hope you are well I have for you today

the latest Challenge over at SanDee & amelie's 

Steampunk Challenges.

as you can see from the title the theme this month is

Top Hat's & Moustaches.

I stamped a Katzelkraft stamp steamkatz onto 

a naturel, noir, & brun bistre coloured card.

                                    I then glued it onto a Tando Creatives chipboard circle. 
                                      I had stamped the three men onto to a separate piece
                                        and tore each man out and used them as segments. 

I tore a piece of faux leather that I had made in an 

Andy Skinner online workshop (timeworn).

I placed this across the lower half of the circle.

Next I used Deco art antiquing creams to give a patina

effect and sealed the edges with gold 

embossing powder.

all of the above was mounted onto a Tando creative clock 

that had been given a time worn look 

by both Deco art sand texture paste, patina made form

Antiquing cream and 

embossing powder.

All the above was backed onto a piece of foam board with

a compass focal point in the centre.

why not pop over and take a look at the other

team members piece's of inspiration 

for Top Hat's & Moustaches

That's it for today folk's.
