SteamPunk Vivian Digi Stamp 

from Sassy Studios

I saw this Card being made on 'Create n Craft'
the other day and I thought I would like to attempt it 
as it would look rather good as a Steampunk card.

To begin with I Cut 2 x 7cm Round Circles 
off an A4 Brown Card
(stash).
 One I folded and scored in half.
On the other I drew a line across the middle
 then using my Circle Cutter Compass
I set the cutter at 6.7cm, 6.5cm, 6.2cm, and 6cm,
 cutting only half the paper.
Glueing the scored Circle at the back of the other 
so that it makes it stand up
and folding in the 2nd and the 4th cut-out half rings
and glueing them to the back.

Then I cut a 5.5cm circle out of 
'Blue Circles' Backing Paper
(stash).

Next I Die-Cut out an Oval
using the largest Large Classic Ovals (5pc)
(Spellbinders)
from Bronze Diamond Embossed Paper
(stash).
I also Die-Cut out the Ribbon Flora Flourish (LR0108)
(Marianne Creatables)
using Metallic Bronze and Brown Cards
(stash).

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.

               Skin -             Vanilla
                                     Dusky Pink
                                     Satin

               Hair -              Shale
                                     Burnt Sienna
                                     Cocoa
                                     Cinnamon
                                     Sandstone

               Lips -              Burgundy
               Gun -             Shale
                                     Cool Grey 5

               Tights -          Satin

                                     Cool Grey 5
               Boots -           Burgandy
                                     Cool Grey 4
                                     Cool Grey 5
                                     Black

               Tails -             Cool Grey 4

                                     Cool Grey 5

               Gloves -         Cornflower
               Suspenders - Cornflower
               Ruffles -         Cornflower
               Pants -           China Blue
               Hat -               Burgundy
               Dress -           Burgundy

I also used Metallic Gel Pens, 

               Gold -            Hat

                                     Shirt

                                     Bodice

                                     Inside Skirt

               Bronze -         Shirt (Fold Shading)

                                     Outside Skirt (On Top of Burgundy)

                                     Boots (On Top of Burgundy)

I then Fussy Cut my Image out.

I put 2 strips of 2cm Black Lace
(Boyes Haberdashery)
around the bottom half of the backing paper.

On the remaining cut-out Rings at the top of the card,
I heat Embossed the 1st one using
Copper Embossing Powder
(PaperMania) 
and on the 2nd one I glittered it using 
Antique Gold Glitter
(CraftTime).

To finish off my card
I used some Laser Board Cogs from the
Steampunk Wings and Cogs Set
(Tando Creative)
which I painted using Metallic Copper
and Metallic Bronze Acrylic Paint
(DoCrafts) 

And finally I placed Flat-Back Bronze Gems,
along a diagonal line on Bronze Oval,
and on the Buttons of the Image 
I put a few dots of Bronze Glitter
(CraftTime).

I then noticed that the cut-out rings 
were rather floppy and wouldn't stay up properly.
So I decided to fix this, 
just by simply using a scrap piece of Acetate 
that I had in my Junk Paper Box.
I cut it to a 7cm Semi Circle and 
attached it to the back of the card 
so the rings could fix onto it.

I'd like to enter this Card in the following Challenges:-
