Another great Teapot Tuesday, yahoo. This week is all about Dewie Doohurtle and his flying machine. I have drawn inspiration for this card from Dewie's great grandfather, Steampunk Sam. In Steampunk Sams day,flight was a myth and was really done by swaying your hand around in the air shouting "whoooooosh".
Beate's great Side Step card forms the base. I have used Graphic45 Steampunk paper. The paper is heavy enough to support the "hand". All edges have been inked with TH Distress Ink - Black Soot. The paper doesn't lend itself to bling, but my hands tend to shake if I can't use bling or flowers. I solved the problem by using Liquid Pearls - Onyx Pearl, quite manly I think.
The guest of honor this week is Bill from Oregon brought to us by Connie "stamp300". I'm off to the post office. Thanks for looking.

That is some flying machine! You sure get extra points for originality....who needs a plane, train, or automobile when you can have your very own flying contraption!
