Steampunk rare Earth Stamps

Rare Earth have produced a wonderful set of Steampunk stamps.  The sets have a lot of vintage elements with a modern twist.

I decorated a wooden heart plaque using the steampunk stamps. I used a metallic rub to make it look a bit rusty in places and added a few metallic elements.

I used the same colour as the background to stamp some elements and then added a couple of coloured in steampunk characters as the focal points on the card.

Again the background was created by stamping some of the elements in the same colour inks as the underlying colours.

For this card the elements were layered and the hat was coloured as a focal point.

Fashion is a big feature of steam punk and this lady is elegantly dressed in a Victorian outfit and could be used for many celebration type cards.

I decided to make a tag card. The metallic effect background is from a single stamp. The stamp is cleverly designed so they tessellate.

Another tag card using different colours.

I thinks it`s always nice to have a matching bag when you are giving a gift and the stamps allow you to do this.
