About Me

My photo
Hi, my name is Terri. My grandmothers taught me how to crochet and embroider on dish towels when I was a little girl, and that started my love of crafting. Over the years I tried different things but my favorite is still stamping and card making. And what makes it better now is that my 2 sisters like it also!! It's fun when we can get together and make cards!! I love learning new ideas and techniques and give hope to others to step out of their comfort zone and try a few new things. Thanks so much for stopping by....follow along if you'd like and see what we can create!!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 357


Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #357, where our theme this week is "Add Metal".  Our sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Loo, and they provided us with "Steampunk Tasha" image to work with.  Be sure to check out all the very cute designs at this week's sponsor.

I have to admit before I started working on this card, I knew NOTHING about steampunk, but I did a little research and learned quite a bit.  While it's not my style, I had a lot of fun making this card!! I think it's fun to step outside your comfort zone once in a while and try something new.  I used a Darice embossing folder with clock faces and inked it up with tan, brown and aqua colors. I colored the image with Copic markers and used die cuts from Wish.com for her and the border. I had these  metal doo dads in my stash, so I added them along with a Memory Box circle pattern die cut out of copper paper. The sentiment from Fun Stampers Journey is stamped on a small tag with a metal eyelet.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Be sure to check out the other design team members' cards at the challenge, and be sure to get your "Add Metal" card linked up for a chance to win!  Have a wonderful day!!

    I was like you with this card, I knew nothing about steampunk and it really wasn't my style at all, but a DT member asked me to draw a steampunk girl and she's actually one of my favorite digis I've done! LOL. You never know I guess until you TRY something new :) You can see her HERE.
