Steampunk Snowman

This week over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge our twist is "Snowmen." Great theme for this time of year, right? But remember, adding the twist is optional. You can always submit an ATG card, so why not play along this week?

I had never seen a steampunk snowman before, so when I saw this darling digi by our wonderful sponsor this month, Sherri Baldy, I was intrigued! I had to make a card with him!
I grabbed some cardstock I had with gears and clocks and set to work! I started by making a 7 1/2 inch by 7 1/2 inch top-hinge card as my base. Then I cut out some elements and layered them up on the base to give it some fun dimension.
First layer was adhered with glue tape, second layer with foam tape and third layer with a double layer of foam tape. Then I added one small element to the bottom left with more foam tape. Love that stuff!

I had a fun clock I wanted to add, but it was too light to fit in with the card style, so I inked it up with some Tsukineko walnut ink in Java.

Here's how it turned out.

This is a close up of the digi I colored with colored pencils. I used my Silhouette Studio Design software to size him up and print him onto some matching cardstock. I had to manually set the darkness on the printer because he came out much too light to see properly on this cardstock the first time. I cut him out with a Spellbinders Grand Circles die and adhered him with, you guessed it, foam tape! Then I added some metal gears from Tim Holtz to finish off the card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
