Hi, am still struggling with the Steampunk theme for Happy Daze but was not going to let it beat me.......armed with a Pizza Box and my mind in a whirl.....when wham inspiration hit me.......
Here are the results. 'Wheels of the Mind', using the Pizza Box as a base I designed this collage using Gesso, Distress Inks, Gold Paint Dabber, Viva Gold, Copper, Kobalt Blu and Tim Holtz Masks, plus some doodling. Stamps by Stampendous (Wonderland) and Suzi Blu, plus odds and ends from my stash.
Yep am pleased with the results. (Just in case you don't recognise the Suzi Blu stamp its called La Belle, only I chopped her hat off) For lots of fab inspiration from the rest of the team pop over to Happy Daze and see there wonderful creations.
Am sure you are all brilliant at Steampunk/Mechanical and look forward to seeing your creations.
Take care, hugs Annette x
PS...........Just received terrific news, have won the Crafty Individuals Candy.........wow, will show you it later...............to say am over the moon is an understatement..............
