I can honestly say that up until this Papercraft Star challenge I have never created anything in the steampunk style. I almost went with just using a metal element, but I decided to challenge myself. Rilly has some awesome steampunk style hot air balloons at The House Across the Bay so I set out to see what I could find to match up with them.
Someone recently shared a link to a graphic artist who has a bunch of her drawings in a free coloring book gallery for everyone to access and download. One of those images was the awesome steampunk girl I have used on this card. Rilly's digi file with all those cool balloons and related tickets/flyers etc. were the perfect match for her.
I've used my beloved Copics AND some Prismas to color her. Her broach was painted with some Perfect Pearls and then covered with Glossy Accents. Her pistol was also painted with Perfect Pearls to give is some shine. She looks like she would keep it polished don't you think? :-)
Steampunk or just a metal element for our challenge this week. We'd love to see what you come up with. Our generous sponsor THATB will provide our first place winner with two downloads and our runner up with one. You have until Monday at 6:00 a.m. EST to link up your project, so come play this week! :-)

This is so cool, Tracy! I think you can pull off just about any style as if you've done it before many, many times! Thanks for sharing the link to the digi images too! I'm going to share them with my daughter! She loves to color and they would be perfect for her!
