This was definitely a 'put together as you go' card- started when I found the metal circle (on top of the clock die cut) and the bit of wire screen in my dad's barn and knew I could use them somehow. Used some papers from a paper stack- a brick print and a wood grain one- for my layers, distressed all the edges and stacked them. The black frame I cut on my Cricut and backed with 3D foam and a TH bingo card, then layered my other elements over it. The keys and button are from my stash. (BTW my dad says the metal circle is actually an old grinding wheel- but once it's on a card it looks like it was meant to be there..! I just find it fun sometimes to make something out of stuff you've just found outside or somewhere- keeps your creativity going!)

This is not a style I can do but I sure can admire it when I see it! I love the found bits you created your card with. The papers go with them very well. Terrific card!

I'm with Ann above: I can't create grunge/steampunk to save my life, but I can appreciate it. Yours is remarkably artistic in design and embellishments. Very cool card.
