Go where I've Never Been Steampunk Tag


I was so excited when I found out I was going to be able to work with the Ornithoper (pronounced  [awr-nuh-thop-ter].  It has such a great Steampunk look and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...


 Isn't that the coolest looking flying machine?  I just love it.  Anyway, to get the cool vintage look I started off by coloring the Ornithoper with a black Sharpie Marker.


Next I inked up a piece of a glassine envelope with Spiced Chai StazOn Midi.  I just swiped it across the glassine then immediatly wiped across it with a tissue to take up much of the ink to make it look more stained than inked.


I then glued the frame to the glassine and let it dry.  Once dry I took my exacto knife and cut off all the excess glassine.


For the tag I started off by inking up the tag using Pistachio & Peanut Brittle Memento Luxe Inks.  


Once the inks had dried I then stamped several fun images available at Altered Pages onto the tag.  


Next I added a dash of metal leafing here and there (adhering it using Duo Adhesive) and gave it a spritz of the Bronze irRESISTible Texture Spray.  


After everything had a chance to dry I started adding the tag, mini bingo card, sentiment and more.  I had such fun making this tag and I just love how it turned out.  I LOVE that ornithoper!!!

  6. I love this tag. It rocks with lots of depth and different textures. But you really must quit using those yummy inks as I get hungry every time I read your posts where you use Peanut Brittle colored ink or have the urge to go fix a cup of Chai tea. The glassine is perfect for the ornithopter. Thanks for sharing another project which rocks!

  9. absolutely fabulous! just to be clear - you first drew (and then markered) onto clear acetate, right?

    clever, clever, clever.

    and ... being an ex-English-teacher nerd, I love find new words which I can drop in conversations very casually. This one will do quite nicely!
