Steampunk birthday fairy

My little sister has a birthday this month so it was time to make her card, and I wanted to do something different for a change. She loves her antique jewelry so I figured steam-punk might go down ok.

The image is from aurora wings and its my first time using this image. I coloured her with promarkers and I tried to stay with antiquey tones. I coloured her with promarkers and then fussy cut the image out.


The background on the base card is done with chalks which I splodged over a couple of die cut cogs again using ochre and light brown to form a subtle base. I then added a piece of card embossed with pocket watches and again rubbed over with the same chalks to age the card and keep to the colour theme.

The embellishments are die cut cogs and the sentiment is also die cut both in gold mirri card. The card was finished by adding the fairy , I used sticky pads under the tips of her wings to add a little dimension but not too much as she has to go through the post as don't think little sis would appreciate a visit during the day when she is working nights this week.

I just have one more thing to sort and that is what to buy for her gift she is so hard to buy for as she is the kind of person that if she wants something just goes and gets it and very fussy taste wise so I never know what to get especially so soon after Christmas and gift vouchers or money are so boring. Oh well thinking cap on.

    A gorgeous card. I was very taken in with the way you blended the colour - it gave a lot of texture - must give that a try. Also, think it was wonderful to see a few peeloffs - I've loads of them! Thanks for joining this weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge. Guest\DT Huny.

    What a fun image, Julye! Thanks for playing along in our "Celebrate" challenge at Quirky Crafts this month. I can tell you're celebrating a birthday but the challenge instructions required using the word 'celebrate' or 'celebration' and this one doesn't do that. I don't know if they will count this entry or not. :-D
