Hello all, it´s a very busy time here at the moment, the school year is nearly at it´s end, holidays are in sight and many, many little things are to do and to finish.
As I am the birthday card maker for all collegues at our school and also asked, when there is something to alter or decorate for a gift, I have to do much right now.
Today I want to show you one of the cards I made for a collegue (sorry, the photo is not the very best):
Over at Country View Challenge we have this month the challenge theme: circles. This is my second piece for it.
And what could be better fitting there than steampunk wheels, manometer and gears!

I used a set of papers and embellishments from LaBlanche and another set called fantasy, which includes gorgeous images. One I used here.
Here are some close ups:
Here you can see some of the gears and a manometer - so cool!
Here I used a circle metal embellishment - you can find circles nearly everywhere! ;-)
for the background I used a stencil from Tim Holtz (one of my favourites) with DI in rusty hinge, then I randomly rubbed slitely some golden Inka gold. I splattered some gesso and black gesso for more interest (circles too =) )
The circle framed numbers are adorable! I love this set!
That´s it for today, I´ll show you more of my latest creations next time, so stay tuned!
I hope, you find some time for our challenge at Country View Challenges this month!
