Just Add Ink #546...Steampunk!

 

Happy Friday everyone!

Todays challenge was suggested by Chantell and she has challenged us to create using a theme of "STEAMPUNK"...For some this will be a style they are use to, for others it will be a challenge, that's the idea!
If you would like to join us this week and share your project, we would love to see what you create! Don't forget to read the challenge rules, link to no more than 6 challenges including Just Add Ink and don't forget to add a link back here in your post.

Here's a little Google/wikipedia blurb to explain the fundamentals of steampunk.....

Steampunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. ... Such technologies may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.

The design team have created an array of projects, some using a modern take on the Steampunk theme. These will give you some inspiration and starting point if you are new to this style...Happy Crafting!

Just Add Ink #544...Just Add "L"

Hello and welcome to a new Just Add Ink challenge!

This week it's time for one of our alphabet challenges from Tina and she has asked us to Just Add 'L'. 

So what do we mean by Add 'L'? It means that the main element of your project has to begin with the letter 'L'. This could be your sentiment - 'L'ove You, or your project might feature a lion, a lamp or a lounge chair, or it could be card fold like a lever card. You get the idea! Please let us know in your blog post exactly what your 'L' element is.
