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.

Clock's by Dee

Dee

Hi everyone Its time for a new challenge over at The Artistic 

Stamper this months theme is clocks.Those of 

you who follow me will know that I just

 love a clock or two.

So here we go with my clocks and a piece of embossed card that

I decorated from an online Andy Skinner tutorial.

 

The stamps used were The artistic stamper stamps Tick Tock

& Time and keys plate.

 

I used a crafters workshop stencil with Ferro graphite. I used a 

memory box die to cut the cogs out.

I used a tando circle and stamped directly onto it then matted it onto the 

base.

That's it folks don't forget to join in with us over at The Artistic Stamper Blog.
