Gecko Galz: Steampunk Love

 

Hello

February has arrived and we have a new customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog.  

The theme this month is Steampunk Love.

As always, we also have the monthly Image Challenge, the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, the monthly Stamp Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk challenge and a Gothic Challenge on the blog, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page.

And, new for this year, we have a quarterly challenge - the current one being make a Junk Journal - which ends on February 26th.

We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.

The winner of the Customer challenge will get a $25 Gecko Galz Etsy Store voucher and the runner up a $12 voucher. There are plenty of free Gecko Galz images if you don't already own any. Each blog post has a free image to collect and, if you sign up for the monthly newsletter, there is the chance to claim a free collage set each month.  Also if you make any purchase of $2 or more you receive a free image.

I made a set of ATCoins and popped them onto black and gold frames:

The images are from the Steam Dream Tin Toppers and the backgrounds are from the Steampunk ATC Collection. I added some black fabric trim for texture and some watch parts from my stash along with an ideology star. I added the coins to a frame die cut from gold and black card.

I decided to turn one ATCoin into a small notecard: 

The ATC Coin was placed onto a stencil printed background. This is one of my favourite mixed media techniques where Distress Oxide inks are smeared onto the stencil, spritzed with water and then stamped onto card. The background was matted onto black card and a clipping sticker provides the sentiment.

I also made a greeting card with the steampunk giraffe. Isn't he handsome.

The steampunk giraffe is from the January Steampunk Fantasies Junk Journal Kit which is part of the 2023 Kit Club. I gave him a black mat and popped him on foam tape on top of paper from the Steampunk ATC Collection which I also matted onto black card. Metal style gems were added along the left side. and a sticker sentiment from the Idea-ology Small Talk collection.

I also made a notebook cover which you can read about here:
