If you've arrived from Kathie's blog, you're in the right spot. If you're a regular visitor to my blog and decide you want to hop along, you can start HERE.
Steampunk was a brand new genre for me. It's a cross between vintage and punk and really a lot of fun to design. To wrap your head around it, think gears and gadgets, imagination and invention, then add a little punk and little whimsy. There you go - STEAMPUNK.
I wanted to try a monochromatic project and this owl was perfect. I used the E50 - E59 Copic family. The dimensional gears are Tim Holz, the gear die cut is Sizzix, and the stamp I used to create the background is from VivaLasVegas Stamps. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Owly Hoo" set. Since I used scrap kraft paper for the die cut and recycled paper for the stamped background, I'm entering this card is Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday "Give a Hoot" challenge.
I used R43, 46 and E08 for the skirt and BG 10, 11 and 13 for the umbrella and corset. I found a wonderful Sizzix embossing folder perfect for this style and a great stamp from Hero Arts "Art of the Card" set. I used the gear die cut and then embossed with a Sizzix alphabet folder. Of course this style calls for lots of Distressed Ink.
There are lots of colors in this one, but the main colors are BG 11,13,15, and 45, YR 61, 65, and 68, andYG 21 and 23 and the W's 0-5.
Isn't this Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe paper fabulous! It speaks for itself.

Larelyn - LOVE your stuff, especially the monochromatic owl - he's my favorite! Just hopping through everyone's blogs to have a look around (your links are working great) so don't put me into your draw - sooo not fair!
I love the monochromatic card. It would be great for fathers day. Love your work.
I am really liking these stamps and your cards are splendid TFS
Hello my talented friend! Thank you for explaining what Steampunk is! I have wondered but didn't know who to ask...lol. Your projects are fantastic! I want all of these. I want to make the Owl for my SMASH book, the hot air balloon for my nieces graduation and the house for my daughter's soldier boyfriend who just bought a house!
Hugs,

Cute cards. Those gear embellishments are really neat.
You have outdone yourself with your GREAT cards. I love the owl but the Lola with her subtle colors makes her seem so innocent.
I love the vivid colors of the house, and have used that paper myself but the balloon was a good addition.
Thanks for all the inspiration. Makes me want to get my copics out and start coloring.
I could see that vintage and punk is your style! Love all of your cards!

Very nice! I applaud your monochromatic approach! I've always found limiting your palette boosts your creativity and helps the piece feel consistent and real rather than pieced together.
Love all your cards
Great job! I love all your cards! Thanks for joining us for the Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky with K Andrew!
