My Ginger design team card:
This started out as an ATC. I used Core-dinations cardstock with the Tim Holtz Alternations Sizzex mini folder and sanded the gears. I fussy cut and added one of the male images from the set of steampunk tags from this month's sponsor, Dezinaworld. Next I created an "inchie" with matboard and the engine from Graphic 45 Playtimes Past collection. Then I had fun finding bits and bobs to attach for a steampunk look.
Could have been done with the project-- but I decided to make a card with the ATC as the focal point. So I matted the ATC on black cardstock to match the card base. I added the train schedule which is a card base from Crafter's Companion, matted on the same green Core'dinations paper. At this point, I decided to anchor everything with some G-45 patterned paper cut with those old fashion wavy scissors.
Be sure to visit Gingersnap Creations today to see the other Ginger art created for this challenge. I hope you're on board with this challenge. You have until August 14 to link up your creation to GC#111.
