PPRS New Release Blog Hop Day 2

 
 
 
 
 
 Well here we are, day two of our Prickley Pear new release hop. I'm so glad you joined us.
We are giving away two lovely prizes so be sure to leave comments on all our team members blogs for a chance to win one of these terrific prizes!
Prize #1
Prize #2
 
My card today is using the same set I used yesterday called, CLR025B Steampunk Gears 3, which will be available in the catalog Sept. 2nd. In addition to this new set, I used the 
D025 Steampunk Gears and D035 Mini Gears Dies. I do love the Steampunk look. Of course when I first heard the term I had to look it up on the internet. Steam powered fiction and Victoriana, who knew?
I got my inspiration from this wonderful Graphic 45 paper from the Steampunk Spells Collection.
It's actually a Halloween paper, but it works perfectly with all the Steampunk products Prickley Pear offers. I wanted my Hot Air Balloon to stand out so I used the D042 Scalloped Oval Nesting Die set to expose my mat paper and really make it pop! I fussy cut some of the clocks from the leftover paper to mix in with the gears. I layered them with pop dots for interest. The sentiment comes with the set. I colored my Balloon with Copic markers, and coated the propeller with Glossy Accents to complete my image.
If you come my way from Rene's blog, your on the right track, and your next stop along the way is Tracy's blog. Now if you would like to go back & start at the beginning you can do so here.
Thanks for joining me today & I hope to see you tomorrow.
Hugs, Maureen
