Please, note, that this challenge blog is not related to any business and run without any profit by people, who do this for your and their own leisure time fun! Our only reward are your encouraging comments and your playing along and sharing steampunk fun and mixed media techniques. We appreciate every single entry and comment so much! Thank you for taking the time!

If you are new to this place, please, know that we are so glad that you stopped by our little steampunk corner!
Whether you are a dedicated tag or card maker, art journaler or mixed media lover - this might be the right place for you!
For more information about the rules and the little "steampunk/industrial twist" we ask of you, please check the "about" stuff and then simply jump in and create!

If you are new to steampunk and not sure if this is "your thing", maybe take a look at our winners gallery on pinterest (use the linking button on our side bar). You will find that we're mainly a mixed media challenge blog with a little twist towards steampunk, industrial and/or vintage. So why not give it a try?

SanDee&amelie's June 2020 Steampunk Challenge

Hi, servus and welcome to our June challenge, dear steampunk and industrial style crafting friends!

I hope you are all well and safe and on your way back to (almost) normal in and after these crazy times!
Our June challenge is - once more - an


Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial


one - so you are free to create what brings you joy (as long as it fits the steampunk or industrial theme and follows our few challenge rules of course).

Our wonderfully generous and true sponsors DecoArt and boozybear are with us again - so the two prizes will be given away as usual after the challenge has ended. As always we will be picking our Top 5 and randomly drawing our prize winners among all proper entries after the challenge has closed at the end of the month and announce these on the 15th the month after.

Having said this, let's head on to the makes of my wonderful design team! If you want to learn more about how they've done their projects and what they've used, simply visit their blogs by clicking on their names. To get a larger view, simply click on the images.





is once more all into her favourite summer theme - the Sea! 
And she really knows how to beautifully combine it with a steampunk theme!!!!



"Sea calls me" 
is the title of her beautiful canvas
and as always she has created loads of amazing texture and structures.








went for a beautiful symmetrical lay out this time.
I love all the layers she has built up on the black page
(and especially those mechanical corner pieces)! 








embellished her giant cog with a 
"mechanical chameleon"
and other yummy stuff.



And as usual she went for a striking and bold colour scheme! 
It shows beautifully that steampunk does not always have to be
brown and metallic, right?





wowed me once more with her imagination
and created loads of amazing copper patina
on her beautiful treasure box



Was this found in an old ship wreck?
What is hidden inside?






and I


- Claudia


have created a birthday tag for a special friend.




Of course it had to have loads of crackle and my favourite colour scheme
for industrial style makes and I have used DecoArt and DecoArt media paints
and products to achieve it.

The challenge is open until the end of the month and we are back to our usual three entries per person.
