This is my first Design Team card for Cardz 4 Guys. I thought this would be an ideal challenge blog for me to break back into DT work. I really love the idea of making cards for men. I don't have to deal with ribbons, lace, flowers and such. It's really nice for a change.
The challenge this week is #9 Words or a Name (Typography).
I found this image on Etsy at Aurora Wings I just loved the look of it. I haven't done a Steampunk card in years. The paper is from Etsy also. It's available at Vectoria Designs..The typewriter letters are by Graphic 45. I basically had to design words around the letters I had left. I bought the gears at Hobby Lobby. I have no idea who the manufacturer is.
I colored the owl with Copics. I found a perfect color combo on a blog called In Rosie's Book.
Copics: E02, E33, E37, E39, C00, C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, C9, Y28
