September Steampunk!

January 21st 2014

I know you will think I am mad but these are not my "Kathryn Wheel" calendar pages for September this year they are my catch up ones from last year!!! I am a couple of months behind but I am so determined to finish the 2013 year and then make a start on this year - I didn't want to give up and I think that is important!

These pages have a Steampunk theme using fabulous images from Lily at The Octopode Factory - just perfect! I added die cut steampunk gears to the background of my pages before I painted the pages. I stamped "September" down one side of a page. The quote stamp is from a Tim Holtz set and I thought it suited the little "punky" characters who all look very inventive LOL!

I went with a Steampunk theme so I could enter the Punk You Girl Challenge for this month - a great theme and one which I haven't "played" with for awhile!

A Sassy Xmas...

December 6th 2013

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago I decided to use this Charles Bristow image from the Queen Kat Designs Store as a Xmas image and create a card ready for the festive season!



"Lorelei" is such a "sassy" gal and a lot of fun to colour and create with. For my card I used some bits & pieces of plain & patterned papers to make the squares in the background along with some tea dyed muslin, xmas flower, die cut xmas greeting and some great snow/ice flakes I just bought - love the effect! I decided to cover her little "skull" buckles and hat ornament with star embellishments to add to the festive feel of the card!



There are some great xmas images over at the QKD shop so pop over and grab some and get creating - we would love you to share your creations at our Facebook page!

I am also entering this card in the Punk You Girl "Black Christmas" Challenge - I think she is perfect for this dark xmas challenge!!!
