DT project for Forever night challenges 'Steam punk, metal'

Here is my project to join in with team B and their 'steampunk & metal' challenge. 

The sponsor is 

I have created a wall canvas, the size is 12" x 9".  I used acrylic brown and tan paints to cover the canvas, then inked around the edge with stazon ink. I used spellbinders cogs dies to cut out the cogs and wrapped cross stitch thread around the bottom.

Here is a picture that will hopefully give you some idea of the size!

I printed out this fab image A4 size and the was no distortion at all so it shows the quality of the images!  I have coloured them in pro markers and used a gold pen for buttons, buckles and cogs! Then cut them out and attached using silicon glue

I have added some gold and sparkly buttons from my stash onto the cogs

This fabulous steampunk charm I found on ebay!!

Metal filigree corner from Wild orchid crafts

I will be entering this project into the following challenges

And another Wednesday arrives, which means another challenge over at Kelley Kid's Challenge blog, and the theme this week is 'Hot Summer - Bright colours'.  We have been lucky enough to be sponsored this week by

http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/

So I had 2 cards to make this week, both with amazing images, so I hope you like them.

I have used K& company design papers for this card called Hopscotch and layered them onto orange card and the Large nesties lace square for the image to sit on.

The image is called 'Adult sun fun' available from the 'Stitchy bear store' She has been coloured with pro markers.

The sentiment I created on my computer and cut out with the smallest scalloped lace square nesties which has then been inked with orange and red.

I will be  entering this card into the following challenges
