Steampunk

A bit out of the usual for me but Gaynor at Craft World asked me if I would demo last weekend at their Papercraft Extravaganza using Flex/Promarkers and this is one of the stamps she chose. It's a really big stamp by Prima called "Emily" from their Bloom Girl collection. I had to use one of my Big Shot cutting plates as a stamp block she's that big! The card is A4 in size. It was also a bit of a challenge using the Flex/Promarkers as I usually use Copics.The techniques were no problem,I just didn't know the colour combinations. So a quick Google and a look on Pinterest helped me out.
