Instructions:
- Cut a piece of 12x12 Teal Cardstock in half. Reserve one piece. Score the other at 6" and fold to form a 6" square card.
- Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the Skull Cane Darling and the Owl Darling from the Steampunk Darlings, Set 1 by That's Crafty.
- Use the same ink to stamp one of the cats from the Steampunk Darlings Accessories Set 2.
- Fussy-cut all the images, color them with Copic markers, then edge all three with a black pen.
- Apply Clear Stardust Glitter Gel pen to the hair jewelry on the owl girl.
- When the gel ink is dry, apply several layers of Clear Glaze Gel pen to add glossy dimension and shine to them.
- Use Gold or Silver Stardust Glitter Gel pen to add sparkle to the buckles and the center of the cat's medallion.
- Set all both Darlings and the cat aside to work on the background. Don't worry. They'll keep each other amused.
- I found some wonderful Industrial-themed patterned paper by Studio Light in my stash and chose the brick and pipes paper to use as a background.
- Warm and Tonic Grey Copic markers were used to add some detail and shadows to the brick, then the piece was edged with Pumice Stone Distress ink.
- A strip of rusty rivets from another patterned paper pad was cut, then edged with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.
- This strip was adhered to the bottom of the brick and pipe paper to ground the images.
- The Time Machine 5 (3 Industrial Lights) die and one of the gears from the Gearheads Thinlits die set were used to cut white cardstock.
- The light and the gear die-cuts were colored with Copic markers.
- A Nestabilities circle die was used to cut white cardstock.
- The die-cut was colored with Copic markers, then the clock rub-on was applied.
- Post-It Notes were used to cover the sentiments that I did not want to use on the Celebrate Sentiment Strip stamp.
- The stamp was inked, and the notes were discarded, the sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock, then die-cut with a tiny unlabeled rectangle die.
- White cardstock was cut slightly larger than the sentiment rectangle.
- Both the sentiment rectangle and its mat were colored with Copic markers.
- A Chain Die and the Nuts and Bolts Die were used to cut silver metallic cardstock.
- The patterned paper card front was adhere to the 6" card.
- The two Darlings, the cat, the light fixture, and the circle/gear clock were adhered to the card front.
- The sentiment was matted then adhered to finish the card.
*The cat was colored to look like my Domino, who is the long haired cat of my duo. His sister, Harley Quinn, is a short-haired kitty and half his size (but ripped). Her dark headpiece is darker than her brothers and her tail features faint tabby striping.
