Mid Month Reminder - April Challenge

Hi and servus and welcome back to our little creative steampunk challenge corner!

Team B are sharing their inspirational projects today (and if you haven't checked out the projects of team A yet I highly recommend you do so by clicking HERE).

As always the challenge theme is an

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

And here we go:

Niki - Pawsitively Creative

Rusty goodness on this tag using rusting powder 

and I also tried stamping into modeling paste. 

Never doubt your instinct 

because then you might staunch your creative flow. 

Carpe Diem!

Kerstin - Scrapbook Dreams

it's a mixed media collage with a lot of texture, stencilling and colours

and I have deliberately chosen a grungy industrial style 

in combination with bold and bright.

Dee Adams

I have an altered wooden box for you today.

 I used boozybear's Clock, Distressed Harlequin and Notebook.

All this was created with Deco art products  and boozybear chipboard pieces.

Claudia - Von Pappe II

Inspired by the project of one of our wonderful March challenge winners 

I helped myself to the awesome Sizzix Eileen Hull "Book, Passport" die 

and created a little notebook for starters. 

The book's spine was done using DecoArt Media white Crackle Paste 

and Antiquing Creams. 

***

Our challenge is - as usual - open until the end of the month and we will randomly draw two prize winners among all proper entries who will get this wonderful little "steampunk starter kit" from 

DecoArt Media 

or

a surprise steampunk chipboard selection from lovely Glenda from

boozybear

Hugs and happy crafting!

SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenge - April 2016

Servus, hi and welcome back to the start of another steampunk/industrial mixed media challenge!

But before we plunge in medias res we want to say a huge thank you to all our true and also new players for playing along and sharing their awesome steampunk or industrial mixed media art with us each month! We are always amazed by all the fantastic entries and by the loads of love and labour that obviously went into all the projects entered to our challenges! This is what we hope and what we work for and seeing it come true is our greatest reward!

Therefore also voting our top 5 really never is easy and the team and I try to do it with as much care and thought as possible. If you want to know which entries from our March challenge will make it to the top or who will be our prize winners check back on Saturday, 9th April!

But now on to our new challenge which - like all challenges in 2016 - is an

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial 

one again.


And Team A once more rocked this one out of the park! But see for yourselves (and don't forget to, please, visit the teamies' blogs and leave them a short "like it" or "thanks for the inspiration" comment to let them know you were there. You get to the blogs by clicking their names. To enlarge images simply click those).

Again there will be two prize bundles - donated by our two fantastic and generous sponsors

 DecoArt Media

 and

 boozybear 

- to be given away to two randomly drawn players. But as we have to be fair we can only give them away to those who have entered properly, please, make sure you have checked our few rules so disappointment for all sides can be avoided. 

As usual the link up is open until the end of the month so there is enough time to get inspired and roll some ideas in your head before you get started. ;) And should you need another dose of inspiration make sure to come back on April 15th, when team B will present their makes! (well...even if you don't need any additional inspiration it will be worth another visit. I promise! lol). We hope to see you play along with us soon! 

Hugs and happy crafting,

Claudia & the SASPC team
