Steampunk Fairy - Scrap Around the World July

Good morning all! This is my first time playing with the ladies over at Scrap Around the World - this month's mood board was created by their design team member Tusia Lech:


You can find the challenge here: Scrap around the world - July challenge

I love all the whimsy in each of this pictures, but I was especially drawn to the hot air balloon in the bottom right corner. To me, with the darker colors, top hat basket, and the balloon floating away with the breeze struck me as borderline steampunk. So with that thought in mind, here is my entry:

I used Bo Bunny's Somewhere in Time collection. I printed two of the steampunk fairy image I found, and fussy cut one so I could put foam squares behind it. I wanted her to look as though she is ready to fly off the page. I added a bit of stickles to her wings and jewels to her goggles. I kept with the balloon theme, and used several on the page.

 Here is a close up of the fairy - I just love the fact that I was able to find an image of a steampunk fairy, with dragonfly wings to boot! I think it really adds to the whimsy of the page.


I did some fussy cutting of some of the papers and added lots of clock parts to really keep with the steampunk theme. Cheese cloth and drywall tape give it some texture. I also did random drops of Lindys Stamp gang color shots for some color and shimmer interest. Lots of distressing, and inking as well.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Create something wonderful today :)

xoxo Amanda
