For this card I used a penny-farthing bicycle stamp that is part of a steampunky set my OH got me last year. In the interests of my continued clear-out, I decided instead of die cutting my own shapes, I would use a couple of the shapes from an old Kanban kit that I bought before I had a die cutting machine.
I stamped the penny-farthing using Vintage Sepia Versafine and edged the shape with Walnut Stain DI. Then I used the DI direct-to-paper (goodness, I've not done that for aeons!) over the large shape, and overstamped it using the Versafine and a large stipple stamp from The Gentleman Crafter.
The ribbon is from my stash and the cogs cut with a Docrafts die set.
