Steampunk postcard by Cathy N

 Good afternoon, Cathy here with a steampunk postcard. 

                                                                Stamps used: 

                                                        Plate 1386 all the gears 

                                                      18477 round lightbulb (from the same plate)

                                                      20165 cross marks background 

                                                      17545 writing background

I started with making a background with distress oxide inks and watercolor paper.

 

Then, I stamped cross marks background all over the background.

Next, I stamped all the gears on the top and bottom.

I then made a tag out of some Kraft paper and stamped round lightbulb and then I layered that on black cardstock and made a tag. I edged the Kraft tag with some brown oxide ink and then I stamped writing background around it. Lastly, I added some ephemera around the postcard.
