Tonight Tonight

This card gets it's inspiration from the music video for "Tonight Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins:


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Kaboodle Doodles - Anything with Ink or Paint (Distress Ink)

When I looked at the video, the first impressions I got was Steampunk and Mermaid.  I had thought I would use one or the other and started looking at images.  Then I saw this one by Delicious Doodles which fitted both!  

I have used a paper from Spyder's Corner for the background.  The cogs are die-cut using a Spellbinders die set and some gold cardstock.  I have also added some Distress Ink across them - not completely sure which colour I used but think it could have been Forest Moss.  The image is from Delicious Doodles and is called Steampunk Mermaid.  I have coloured her using copic markers - again not quite sure of the colours I used but I know that the rock she is sitting on is in the W range.

  2. Hi Suze! I'm going to lift one of your cards for the Clearly iStamp challenge, and I'm so exited about it! Going through your blog you've got so many great designs so I find it hard to choose one only! Just my kind of style - not too fussy and lots of great layouts and themes! I can only tell you this much - I'm not going to lift this card. I love it, but I wouldn't know how to make this great background and the Steampunk style.
