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

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

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

  4. When in doubt about steampunk, G45 to the rescue! But you didn't let the papers do all the heavy lifting; you totally improved upon your panels and made them better! Your Halloween cards are awesome!
