WooHoo I am not sure if i should be in the kitchen or at my craft desk. This is for Sabrina's fun "Ways to Use it" challenge....things from the kitchen.
I made the modeling paste by mixing half a cup of baking soda, with 2 tablespoons of school glue and 2 tablespoons of white acrylic paint.
To make it really kitcheny, I added rock salt and ground black pepper to some rusty coloured acrylic paint, followed by a very good dash of Worcestershire sauce (to darken the colour). After I painted the background with the gritty paint, I dabbed it with a textured paper towel.
Once the background was dry I stencilled on the kitchen-made modeling paste. While that was drying I fussy cut the steampunk lady from a sheet of Grapic45 dp, blackened her hat with Wink of Stell brush and dabbed some pink distress ink on her cheeks.
I used a measuring cup to trace around the outer edge to make hand rolled flowers - approx 3" diametre, cut around and around like peeling an apple.
Add fence, die, words...job done. To give it a real kitchen feel I photographed it on some paper that looks like a marble chopping board.
The fence, bike and wings extend past the edge of the card, but this isn't going anywhere....sniffer dogs at the post office would have a field day.
Thank you for looking, I had heaps of fun making this.

Susie, this is fantastic! You really know how to use your kitchen to create beautiful cards. Your cards always bring a smile to me and this one is just icing on the cake. Fantastic job in your kitchen.

LOVE IT! I can't even imagine what possessed you to use Worcestershire sauce, that's too funny! This is even more fabulous than I could have guessed when I read the description in the notification. I was still laughing about the sniffer dogs when I clicked the link - and stopped laughing because you can't laugh when your jaw is on the floor! Even without the kitchen, this is amazingly creative. I think I'm going to have to start a Susie gallery in my favorites (wouldn't it be cool if that was really possible?)!
