Graphic45 Steampunk Debutante

When I first saw the new Graphic45 Steampunk Debutante papers I almost fainted! They combine Victorian ladies, butterflies, and flowers with gears, clocks, and metal. How stinking cool is that?! And the colors...teal, orange, brown, green....oh my! I had a BLAST designing with this new line!

This card is an A2 size, but is packed with details and layers. I really love the finished product!

I used some of the Steampunk paper to make a rose, which I attached to one of the new G45 flowers from the Staples collection. I also added this amazing Prima pearl and flower bling to the card. I had been saving this bling for just the right project and, baby, this was it!

The layering on this card just makes the papers pop. It's so much nicer in person! If I do say so myself!

I used a Tim Holtz metal clock and one of Tim's pins. Well, it's my pin. I bought it. But Tim designed it. Plus one of Tim's stamps...yeah yeah, it's MY stamp now! Oh, and did you notice the trim...it says vintage...that's a new G45 trim. Super cool. The greeting on the inside is from Hero Arts.

This next card is also an A2. Much more simple. But still, love this paper!

I used a Prima flower and a bunch of other stuff from my stash - pins and this very cool metal word, which I think is Making Memories. It's been in my hoard for a long time.

And the inside:


And, last, another A2. Again, pretty simple.

Used some of the new G45 trims, plus a Prima rose and a few other bits and pieces.

I can't wait to create more stuff with this line. I hope I get more of it in my next DT box! I still have one more project to show you with this line, so stay tuned!
