It is not too early to start creating fall and Halloween cards, right? {Ok, so I never mail out Halloween cards, but I do like to make vintage Halloween items!} I created this Steampunk Halloween card with just a few stamps and some paper scraps. Don't worry, I am NOT going all frugal on you!
I stamped the winged clock image onto cream paper with black ink. After I fussy cut the clock from the paper, I sponged on some gray chalk ink and added it to the die cut shape with some foam squares.
To create custom background paper, I stamped the Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells printed paper with gear images and watermark ink. I then embossed the images with metallic embossing powder.
I fussy cut the Halloween sentiment from a scrap of G45 paper, but you could also stamp a message for your card.
I have another steampunk card coming up on Thursday...stay tuned!
