Hi Blog friends! I bet this one caught you off guard, didn't it? Just when you think you will find a post with another frilly girly type card, I give you Steampunk! I had completely forgotten that I made a bunch of steampunk style cards for Ally Pally in September. There are a scad of these that are mixed in with the backlog of cards that I have been posting recently. Hopefully, you will find the change refereshing, or at least, interesting, even if it isn't your taste. Every once in awhile, you just have to get inky and this card was done entirely with Pumice Stone Distress ink. I first stamped the vintage inventor in the centre of the card using a clear perfect medium pad and clear embossed him. This created a resist which I inked over and around in a halo effect using the pumice stone ink. I stamped some of the extra stamps from this set (which is from Sam Poole by the way) in the background and down a strip of card that shows from under my film strip and acetate. I stamped and cut out the pressure gauge and added a few of the Tim Holtz metal gears for texture. I inked the chalk white seam binding with the pumice stone ink and made a messy bow and topped it with a black zipper rose. To complete the card,I distressed the edges with a pair of scissors and then inked them and matted it with a piece of black card in an offset manner. All in all, an incredibly quick card to put together and especially nice if you know someone who loves steampunk. What do you think, why don't you have a go at it! All for now, Sue x

Great card!!!
I love the zipper rose on the ribbon...
I love this type of card (much more my kind of thing) though you do 'girlie' so well. I need to get more of these zipper flowers, I don't think there's anything they don't go with! x
The card looks really aged, which i guess fits the era right, steam punk is something which i haven't yet tried , great stamps by Sam !
thanks for the ideas.
Thank you Sue! I am just like you in that my cards are never 'complete' without my ribbons and spellbinders. I do like the idea of steampunk, but I've tried and not been happy with the results- even examples I've seen have failed to inspire me...until now!!! I am definitely going to follow your lead with the colours, and I do have to get some zipper roses!! Carole
love it - its fab xx
WOW I think, it´s a refreshing change, so it´s not just always the same. I´m the same way, I can get on with something for a while, but then I suddenly have to try something quite different, and I think, we all know different types too, so it´s just good to be able to make a lot of different types of cardds, and this looks pretty awesome I think. I just love the vintage inventor in the middle, it really looks cool.
Love this card. Love the stamp set. Just love it! Julia xxx
Love this steampunk card Sue and the zipper rose is just perfect! I've recently got into this theme and I'm off to check out Sam's stamps and that lovely DI ink:)

Hi Sue
Just goes to show how versatile you are. Fantastic card.

Hi Sue, you have done it again, what a lovely surprise, I just adore steampunk and you do it so well. A great treat! Regards, Anne Redfern x
Interesting ticket strip.

Love Steampunk and Sams stamps are on my wishlist. The card is fab but the bow and zipper rose let us know it is a Sue Wilson card.

You make a lot of very inspiring cards, but this one is absolutely brilliant! I really love it! I did talk to Sam a little about her steampunk stamps at alexandra palace show, and with this card & your trademark use of ribbon and flowers you have added your own twist! Excellent. Show us more!!!
Love those gear parts and how you did the inventor

Just love this card. One of my favourite things is steam punk
Love both the style and colour of this card. Cxx
Lovely card, love the spellbinders, but it is nice to see you getting inky again, more like this please.
Fantastic stuff - love all the elements on this one!
Gorgeous card! I love how you've used Steampunk on this card.
I do like Steampunk, but sometimes the cards can be a bit too busy, but your card isn't and is just stunning.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Soooo my cup of tea - great card! x
Love it Sue. I am a girly girl, but Steampunk is now my new passion. I ordered Sams stamps after watching her on C&C. They are fab and you don't have to do Steampunk cards, just combine elements to form any mens cards. However, Steampunk is delightful because its imaginery. Remember its not Steampunk if you conform, it the idealogy and fantasy that make it so interesting. Mix machinery, steam, fabric, clockwork, etc its really up to you. Sorry girls, lesson over! Regards Linda x
you always do it sue, make the most lovely cards, thats why you have sell outs on c&c all the time, and because you show us from start to end thanks sue hugs julie x
