You Rock meets Steampunk

Morning sweeties how are you all on this beautiful sunny day(well it is here in the south of England at the moment).

Well here is the card I promised to share and I am kind of happy with it so I hope you all like it too,its not my usual girly pink and purples and I have even distressed the edges with a paper distresser too(first time I have done this).

The image is from Kenny K of course I just think he is so very talented I love his work,I have coloured her with promarkers the 'you rock' stamp is from an inkadinkado set,trim is from bo bunny and the cogs are from make it crafty which are chippies that i triple embossed with a copper embossing powder I love how they look when they are embossed.For a little extra detail I have added some card candi I am loving this stuff but I really have to thank Kath as I was lucky enough to win a whole store of them full of 13 boxes of loads of colours and over 400 in each so thankyou so much Kath.I am sorry but I am not sure where the paper is from as I won a massive stash of them from Elaine but I really loved how textured it looks.

Partridge In A Pear Tree
