Yes, it's Wednesday and I am finally uploading last Saturday's Inspiration Challenge card. I was inspired by THIS image. Making this card was like a scavenger hunt - Once I had committed to the inspiration image I had to hunt through all my stamps to find images that worked with the Steampunk theme and were small enough for this very scaled down and stylized version of that amazing piece and doing that was kind of interesting, I discovered things I'd forgotten I had. It was also a gluing nightmare and I'm still waiting to see what pops back off this and needs more adhesive to stay put. I ended up with way more little bits and pieces than I used on this card, but into the treasure box they go for future use.

What a great take on your piece! That steampunk lady is really cool and I like how you made her the "star" of the card put still placed her in the corner like your inspiration. The added goodies to go with her work very well and I'm glad you stuck with it despite the gluing difficulties (pun intended). Happy Thanksgiving..(still cooking and cleaning here...Friday can't come soon enough).

Those little tiny clocks and cogs are amazing - what a collection of stamps you must have. It would have taken me hours to decide on a layout - your chosen one looks great.
