Happy Birthday OOTH

Yes it's Out of the Hats birthday and to celebrate they have a game for you and for me it landed on steam punk something I usually shy away from, not because I don't like it I do, but because I don't think I can do it justice but I have tried.
This is the altered note I have made with embossing folders, die cuts, paint, rub-ons  and wire


 
Thanks for popping by and I would also liketoenter this for the Tando challenge of flowers

It's a style I shy away from as well Von, but I would be quite happy to come up with this.

Great altered notebook, Von. Love that twisty wire!

Well Von,hopefully you'll never shy away from it again!! I totally love this. The aged look, the steampunk elements and the wire. What I also really love is that you've used that beautiful floral folder (which I have too) and made it into something completely different. Stunning work my friend!!!
Hugs, Julia xxx

This steampunk cover is gorgeous! I love the gears and flowers, but the wire is genius! Love the hint of cooper in the cover to compliment the wire as well! Wonderful work!
