Leslierahye's Merry Holiday Steampunk Blog Hop - December 21st

Welcome to 

Hosted by the very lovely Leslie Rahye

I want to thank Leslie for all the wonderful things she does

Hosting Steampunk themed blog hops

Her love and passion for crafting on all levels

She inspires me more than she knows

(welp-she knows now! lol)

This years has pasted me by quickly

Many joyous moments, some disappointments, and new revelations

I am excited for what is to come in 2014 and hope that you will

still be there through this journey

My last project for 2013

3D Steampunk Xmas Tree

Found an old tattered book at my thrift store for 25 cents.

I found a tutorial through Pinterest.

I put gesso on the folded pages and started spraying

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powders, sprays and micas

Dylusions 

Used foil tape and used Tim Holtz dies and embossing folders

I bought some watch findings on www.etsy.com used Ranger's Glossy Accent to adhere the gears n cogs

found an awesome shop for the laser chip boards called www.ginasdesigns.net

the remaining embellishments are from my stash that I've collected throughout projects

This creation is also my submission to

We have finally reached the last moth of the year so Leslieraye wanted to do a 

Very Merry Holiday Steampunk Hop.

I wanted to design one in winter blue and white

but did not realize that I did not not have the inks to

color the foil tape

so I colored it traditional vintage christmas colors

Foil Tape

TH - Distress Inks - Brushed Pewter

DIES

Sizzix - Donna Salazar Gears

I will create a you tube tutorial on how I 

made this tree 

Plus 2 more trees

to design and will post at a later time.

some freebies.

Happy Holiday!
