SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #109 - E is for Engineering

Hello and welcome back snarky peeps!

It's time again for one of our favorite challenges at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS: 

E is for Engineering! 

(otherwise known as our STEAMPUNK CHALLENGE!)

I made not one, but 4 Steampunk Halloween cards: 

 

It's pretty easy to make multiple cards if you use designer paper that mostly 

does all the work for you. (Like this paper from Graphic 45)

Here are the individual cards:

They all look the same on the inside:

 

I could have made these a lot quicker by using the people cut outs as they were printed, but I wanted 

to pop them up for some dimension. That meant I fussy cut them out, die cut the beige panels (sponging vintage photo DI on them then stamping a grungy stamp for more interest. You can

see this better on the inside panel), and die cutting the smaller panel and rounding out the corners.

Yeah, could have made this easier, but why would I do that?! LOL!

I cut 4 panels from black card and used a couple embossing folders (cogs and pocket watches), and

even used some Halloween sticker sentiments (I sponged over them also with the vintage photo DI)

I hope you find some time to join in on our Engineering (Steampunk) challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! You know we love to see what fabulous creations you

come up with. For more inspiration, do check out what my Sisters created along with our

newest Guest Designer, Sharon, and leave some bloggy lovin!
