But when I saw that the current challenge at Cardz 4 Galz was Female Steampunk, I knew it would be perfect for the challenge, and I remembered that Carol from CD Sunday Plus had recommended some specialist printer paper from a local supplier which I've been using regularly on her advice, so I tried my long-neglected CD with it and what a difference it made!
The watch images are part of the background paper, but were also part of a sheet of toppers and embellishments, so having two sets of them meant I could add a second copy of each image to add depth. The rose topper is also raised from the card with 3D glue, and the cog corner stuck flat to the card with the metal key added for more depth.
I am sharing this with

Hi Jane. I am flattered that my advice is working. The colours you have achieved are perfect for Steampunk. I still use the same paper on many of my projects. I have also found that you can use both sides and achieve different effects.
Thank you for joining us.

You rocked the theme! I love the grungy, vintage look and the key charm is fab. Lovely the sentiment too. Thanks so much for playing along with our Steampunk theme at Cardz 4 Galz, Deborah, DT.
