I had to make a tag to go with a box I've made for a friend. The box is steam punk themed so the tag had to be. It so happens that there is a Considering Steam Punk challenge started over at DragonsDream Tag It On this week. I don't know if this'll count as the ingredients are Fantasy, Inventions and Victoriana. The fantasy is missing here. I'll no doubt be doing another in the next fortnight but this will have to suffice for now.
The light's a bit glarey tonight, but more detail can be seen on the following closeups.
Triple heat embossed with copper and the word stamp "Steampunk" pressed into the warm embossing powder. Then run through my BS in a folder and cut out with fancy edged scissors.
cog stamped using brilliance gold and a screw brad in the centre of one.
more stamps in black with a piece of a tando compass chippy left over from the box this is to go with. Inked in black and some more copper embossing powder.
The base of the tag is painted card using the "aged leather" technique picked up from Andy Skinner's Timeworn course. All the stamps are from his Personal Impressions Steampunk range. A small length of chain with a heart charm as the ties.
Centre stage is a woodcut penny farthing from Crafty-Embellies as are the little wooden cogs at the top.
I'd like to enter this tag into the challenge over at
