A masculine steampunk card for Altair Arts

This month at Altair Art blog we have a different style to challenge you - a steampunk style.

It's a little different, as most of the beautiful papers by Altair Arts are very meminine and soft in colors and designs. But there are some other papers, that you can use for a masculine/ steampunk project, plus some of the DT have made a soft version of the steampunk theme. Head over to the Altair Art blog to see all the fab creations by the DT.

I went all the way along with the theme and made a masculine mixedmedia steampunk card:

It is the first of some masculine/boyish cards I will be making in the next few weeks.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

I would like to enter it to the following challenges:
The paper Girls - masculine birthday.
Seize the Birthday - I didn't use the option of the topping, but still it's a birthday card.
Simonsays Wednesday challenge - Happy Birthday.
Pile it on - think small (I've used small cogs and metal embellishments)

A journey of a thousand miles - back to school card

Second post for me today :).

Here's a card I've made for my eldest son, who starts tomorrow High School (I just can't believe it...).

Wishing him all the best and all the luck in his new journey.

I enter it to the current challenge at Kaisercraft blog - Cogs.

I've used papers and die-cuts from an old collection - Pickled Pear, and two stamps from Life Sentiments set.

I also enter this card to the current challenge at SimonSays Stamp blog, which is 'Back to School'.

Here're some close-ups:

A Journey notebook - Scrap Africa tag challenge

Hi everyone, 

At Scrap Africa we have a new challenge, and this time the theme is 'Tag it!', you can make any project you like, and you need to use at least 2 tags on you project.

I made a journaling notebook for my travel to Poland last month:

It was a 5 days journey, so I made 5 diveders for each day

On the cover (front & back) and on the diveders, I placed many tags. in a few days, I will upload a video of how I made these tattered tags, so stay tuned.

It's a mixed media project and I used lots of mediums here. 

Since there are many close-ups photos, I've made  video, showing my project:

I would like to enter it to the following challenges

cogs - scrapki-wyzwaniowo

moodboard - Tresors de Luxe challenge (Tresors de Luxe etsy shop):

paints, watercolors or gellatos - Scrap it Girl I used lots of mists, distress stains, magicals, etc.

stamps - mixed media I used lots of stamps making the inner diveders (see the video).

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.
