A Steampunk Valentine

I seriously can’t get enough of Steampunk art these days. The diversity, detail and amazing styles that are being created are a wonder to behold. Continuing with this theme, I wanted to create a different form of the traditional Valentines. My feeling was, why not let a Steampunk fan know they are loved with a card? 🙂

Supplies:
G&P Key to My Heart Charm Set H006
G&P Keys to My Heart Accents H009
Vintage Gears Embellishment Set ST002
G&P Glastique Gloss Finishing Glaze
G&P Glastique Matte Finishing Glaze
G&P Ruby Red Slippers Embossing Powder
G&P 24K Gold Embossing Powder
G&P Copper Kettle Enamel Powder
G&P Vintage Black Enamel Powder
G&P Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive
Globecraft & Piccolo Pure Sparkle Gold Glitter
Piccolo Easy Grip Tweezers
Red crystal sticker gems
Blank card
Red card stock
Gear and key Stamps
Stamp ink

Carefully remove all of the Piccolos from the chipboard frames. Separate the frame, gears, small keys, two lock hearts without loops and the swirl. Place the remaining pieces to the side for a wearable Valentine’s Day Bling project; check out the Globecraft & Piccolo blog for that tutorial. 🙂

Apply Piccolo Enamel Adhesive to all of the remaining pieces. The two heart locks I coated with G&P Ruby Red Slippers Embossing Powder. The two keys, windup key and swirl with G&P 24K Gold Embossing Powder. The four tiny gears with G&P Copper Kettle Enamel Powder. The frame and remaining gears I coated with G&P Vintage Black Enamel Powder. Heat set.

Stamp the card stock with the gears and key stamps. Adhere to the front of the blank card. Carefully glue the embossed Piccolos to the front of the card using the G&P Glastique Matte Finishing Glaze.

Coat all of the Piccolos with G&P Glastique Gloss Finishing Glaze and add the red sticker gems to a few of the gears. Put a few drops of Glastique Gloss on the card, smear the drops  with your finger and sprinkle Globecraft & Piccolo Pure Sparkle Gold Glitter on top.

Stamp or write your favorite Valentine’s sentiment inside. 🙂

Until next time, safe travels!
