Showcasing Sagittarius for Simply Steampunk


Today I'm showcasing the lovely Sagittarius for Simply Steampunk, one of the new Steampunk Zodiacs at SBS.  There's something about her bow and arrow that made me make a tag using Fall colors, or maybe it's just the cooler weather we've been having.  I used kraft for the tag and gorgeous K&Co Dp.  The sentiment just sort of came to me while on my morning hike and I printed it on the computer, cut the rectangle and scrunched and distressed and inked and spritzed it with water until it looked weathered enough to make the scroll.  I thought the copper skeleton leaves added to the woodsy feel.



Sagittarius is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped.  The gorgeous clothing of the Steampunks is so much fun to color.  I've added some fab fibers and some Tim Holtz metal flowers and foliage to the Primas in honor of our current Metal Challenge.  It runs through Sept 5th so I hope to see you there.

I'm also entering this in the Crafting by Designs Celebrate Women challenge, Ruby's Rainbow Vintage ChallengeWord Art Wednesday Anything Goes, Papertake Weekly Anything Goes w/Optional Vintage, Simply Challenged Heavy on the Embellishments, TTRCD Aug 6-12, and Avenue 613 Create Anything Goes with an Optional Sentiment.

  6. Hi Donna, I'm very glad to have you share your art with us at WAW, and I welcome you to our challenge blog. I did see that you mentioned a "copper skeleton" in your post, and luckily, I don't see it. I really like your art and I want you to feel free to share your art with us. I would, however, suggest you check out our Challenge Rules tab for details as to our challenge guidelines. I want you to be able to share your art and be eligible for prizes because I know it takes a lot of time to create art and link it up and I want each entry to count. Please accept this in the right way - I really do want to be welcoming and encouraging. I'm truly grateful to have you join us and hope that you will check out the tab and play along with us. You're a very talented crafter. God has given each of us our own unique talents, and I look forward to having you share your talents with us in the weeks ahead. Blessings to you for a great week, and feel free to email me with any questions.
    Blessings,
