I was really challenged to make this project with Steampunk Spells, as cards are not something I typically create.




 My approach here was to try and achieve dimension with collage and then finish with heavy metal elements.




On the inside of the card I really used my love for collage to decorate.




 Elements were cut from several different papers with the time theme, and then I layered away. 




Of course lots of metal embellishments were added along the way.





 I used the card stock banners in an unusual way by having them act as hinges for an additional flap on the cover.




I love the heaviness of this sturdy hinged card.  

It was really fun to step outside the box and make something that I usually don't.  I hope you are inspired to try something new as well!

Cheers, 

Rhea

  1. I'm glad you "stepped out" as you really created a masterpiece! I would like to make a 2 page book using your technique but need to figure out how to make hinges work.

  3. Just curious...what size envelope did you use for the steampunk card? Or did you use a box of some kind? I love it!

  4. How about a tutorial on how to make this card and it's envelope or enclosure? Also, where did you get the supplies from? Alpha Stamps?
