Thus the craftsman thinks to grace the rose...

My card today features an older Steampunk image from the Original Collection of Steampunks at Simply B Stamps, her name is Grace.

Last month I did some travelling for work so I printed off some of these gorgeous Steampunks and packed some Copics for the long flights I had.  Just as well too as I needed to make a card for a colleague and so I had this image ready to go.

To make up my card I followed the sketch at Sketchy Colors, with a lovely romantic image like Grace the Opulent Oval dies from Spellbinders were the perfect background as was the dreamy designer paper from Kaisercraft.  I also took inspiration from the so romantic theme and image at The Shabby Tea Room in my soft pink roses and clock embellie.

They’ve got a three favourite embellishments challenge going on at Incy Wincy.  I love metal embellies and paper roses, I suppose I have four embellies if you count the ribbon and the crystals.  I probably use more of the crystals as they are easier but I have a huge supply of ribbon, I love it too, I just often can’t part with it or have difficulty incorporating it into my layout.
