The Time to Craft Challenge Blog has a Manly Challenge this week. The SteamPunk set from Artistic Outpost is the perfect collection of images for fabulous manly designs.
I inked the circular label and stamped it multiple times on the background (Basic Grey Fruitcake paper) before re-inking again. The rest of the stamps were stamped on the same DP and clear embossed. I finished the design with some brown velvet ribbon.
Remember, to celebrate this release, Artistic Outpost is featuring 15% off just about everything in their store (**Coupon code not good on EZMount products). Just use coupon code: spring2010_15 at checkout, but hurry, this Coupon Code is only valid through March 31, 2010. You can check out an entire gallery for each Artistic Outpost plate on their website.
PS ~ I was excited to be chosen as a Ginger Gem at the Gingersnap Creations Blog.
