Steampunk Traveling

Good morning! Today starts a new challenge on the Kenny K Krafty Krew blog. Our challenge for you this fortnight is
Steampunk

For my card I have used the stunning Savannah Belle.


The papers are from Prima's Botanica. It's an older pad but new to me! It was so perfect for this image with its gears and travelling type images.The tag came from the pad, too! 

Another short and sweet post as I am still out of town and enjoying vacationing with my husband and kiddos!

Have a wonderful week and hope to see some fabulous projects from you all when I find some spare time to pop into the Kenny K blog!

Fairy Baby

I have made another card using one of the baby fairies from the 3 Baby Fairies bundle, which you can buy at Mo's Digital Pencil.
I used Prima's Botanica paper pad and Wild Orchid Craft Flowers. I dyed some seam binding with Wild Honey Distress Ink, threaded into some crochet lace and added a vintage button. 

If I get the chance while on vacation, I will try to update this post with the copic colors I have used. If I don't and you would like me to give you the colors, feel free to let me know and I will add it for sure when I get back!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!

I made some more fun pinwheels to decorate the card with and added some pearls to the centers and distressed with Tea Dye DI. I have no idea the paper I used :( I did add glitter glue to the fireworks to add a bit of pizzazz, though.
