CAS194 Steampunk Collage

Photo Details

Poster: peeps321

When I saw that the theme today was collage I just had to play. Normally when I do a collage card there are a lot of layers and accoutrements involved. For this collage I let my stamps add the layers. My bg was made using a light handed application of watercolors and then adding some kosher salt for texture (of course when dry the salt is rubbed off). Hope you like it!

I love your card Polly!! The colors are very eye catching, and I love the texture of the cheese cloth - or whatever that grid like print is. Great card!!

I love the idea of steampunk, just don't know how to make it work for an occasion. Your card is wonderful Polly. I need some pointers!

Now this is a cool collage!!! I LOVE that you stamped Grandpa Peeps (wink) right over the one hot air balloon! Love how the blue shows thru!!! All the gears look awesome and really add to the vintage steampunk feel! Looks like another fabulous Polly card to me!!!
