This month Lisa designed some Ice Cream Digis' all different and all awesome, when It came to choosing which one I wanted to use for this challenge it was so tough but in the end Ice Cream Steam won for me, So here we have my creation

I absolutely LOVE Steampunk so of cause when I spotted this image I just had to get it and use it for the challenge.

To do this card I used the following products:

Ice Cream Steam Digi Stamp

Tim Holtz Gears Die

Factor 42 - Ironworks by Kaisercraft

Distress Ink - Vintage Photo

I fussy cut the Ironworks 12 x 12 paper down so I could place the pieces into different sections onto the card and layered some up on foam pads and glued others down to give it a 3D look. I also used my scissors to distress the edges on the paper. The sentiment was typed out, printed cut out and then I used Vintage Photo Distress ink.

I hope this inspires you to get involved in the progressive challenge for September, you can find all the challenge information on the Bloobel Facebook Group HERE.
