The rest of the pages and the cover I made are mostly feminine and lace so I decided to go for a complete change and a bit steampunk.
I added more stamps to the backgrounds, bits of tissue and a metal butterfly that I distressed with Alcohol Inks - it started off silver. The balloon image is stamped on copper coloured metal, embossed with 10-Seconds Studio tools and the puffed up bits filled with texture paste, so it doesn't collapse on the page.
Second page is similar, tissue numbers, a pen nib pasted with multi-medium, key charm and main image on metal.
This is one swap that I always enjoy, all the pages I have received have been different and all beautiful and the end result - a permanent reminder of what a talented group of people I belong to on Katy's Corner Yahoo group.
Have just realised that the theme of the pages links with the current challenge on Artful Times - men - so I'm entering these pages. First time entry for me on a relatively new challenge site - more to come I hope.

These pages are gorgeous Ann - I must say I particularly love the background on the hot air balloon one - must be the colours that appeal as the other page background is equally lovely.
Bet this is even more spectacular irl with all the different textures and mediums used.
Thanks for sharing with us at Artful Times - Hugs, Neet xx
