I’m sharing a
card today featuring Lucy Loo Magnified Star from The East Wind.
I needed a card
for a friend’s birthday and wasn’t sure what image to use until I saw the
current challenge at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers was P is for
Punk...Steampunk that is. Now Edna is
not a woman to be gainsaid and really, it’s been way too long since I got my
Steampunk on so I just knew I had to play along. I was going to use another image but went
with this one as the recipient’s nickname is K-Star (don’t ask me why, it’s
just how she rolls). No snark to this
card though, not that I didn’t try but after fruitless Googling for ideas I
finally admitted defeat on some snarky pun about steam or smoke.
To make up my
card I’ve followed the current sketch at Die Sketchtanten. It was looking a bit plain so I kind of went
to town with my flowers.
I picked my
colours by playing along with the Tic Tac Toe game at Vintage Stamping, where
I’ve gone with people (my image), metal (the cool embellies from Tim Holtz) and,
of course, the colours scheme of blue and brown. I really like how this turned out, not too
girlie but pretty in lovely muted colours, a lot like K-Star herself.
