Steampunk Lady Wall Art

I made this lady for Bunny1kenobi in the recent Color in a Box swap. Her colors were teal and peach and she mentioned she liked steampunk stuff. Fortunately, I have been hoarding some steampunk scrapbook paper for some time and it had the exact colors I needed! (This is why we hoard supplies — you never know when you’ll need something for a swap in the next decade. :rofl:)


I am pretty sure this is Graphic 44 paper, and I fussy cut many of the images out and layered them collage style. It’s mounted on a half inch chipboard square (also part of my hoard) and I embellished with some cogs and watch bits. I painted the sides peach with some gold to play off the gold embellishment bits. Everything was part of my stash — all waiting for just the right project. It felt good to use it all!

This was a fun project to make — thanks for looking!

This is soooo cooool! What a wonderful find in your stash for teal and peach and Bunny1!

I like how this can be read as you might use something in the next 10 years, or say, the 2030s!

Thanks very much, everyone! It was really fun to put together. I like to think that after she’s done with her bike ride she’ll be off on a hot-air balloon adventure next. :smiley:
