Hello! Welcome to the Smeared and Smudged November Member Blog Hop!
Here is the blog hop list for you, just in case you need it.
“The theme this month is A Little Steamy. Use images, pieces, or parts that embrace the steampunk genre. Use your imagination and have fun with it. We can't wait to see what you come up with! Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine).”
Those were our instructions…and this is what I came up with…
And here you can see the size of the little composition book…
I used a small sheet of aluminum and embossed it, then I used some Copics on it for color, then I used a little sanding block to remove some of the color and make it look more distressed, then I stuck on a couple of gears and the Bluebird Rider image from Smeared Ink. And there you have it! A fancy new cover for my little notebook!
This also goes along with the current challenge over at Smudgy Antics – Alter Something.
Thanks for looking, and happy hopping!
