Steampunk Fall

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using this month's freebie over on the Conjurer of Dreams blog and the new Rustic Fall digital set.  Now as one who is SO DONE with summer and it's hot temps, wildfires and hot down-sloping winds, I cannot wait for cooler temps and the changing of the seasons. 

I started out by combining the digital elements in Photoshop before printing my finished image on Neenah white card stock before layering and adding copper brads then setting aside.  I then printed another image out at 5x7 size before adhering it to a white Neenah card base.  Taking some burlap ribbon I found at Dollar Tree©, I added a strip to my card base using Ranger Glossy Accents.  When that was dry, I added my layered image panel using pop dots before a few dusty Marvy and Martha Stewart punches to create a floral spray using leaves to fit the fall theme.  I then took my punched elements/snippets and rubbed then lightly over a Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink pad using tweezers.  The final touch was adding a little copper ice stickles to the flower centers.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Your burlap and leaves really work with this marvelous image to make a fantastic fall design! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! (Sorry to be visiting so late!) Hugs, Darnell
