The Eyes of Genius

Before I start with my "Steamy" tag, I want to remind you that there is still a few days left to join in the "March Monthly Referral Program" and of course it is an anything goes using those most fabulous AO stamps! 

I decided these steamy eyes from the "Steampunk" collection would work well on a small tag, so stamped them with Black Archival and the used a VersaMark pen to emboss in gold.  The eyes were colored using Tattered Rose on an applicator and blue marker for the pupils.  These were then masked and inked with Distress Inks.

The background was created using images from the "Industrial Backgrounds" and "Whimsical Melange."  The background was colored with Distress Inks, some water and paint flicks and after dried stamped with the gears using Black Walnut.  I lightly sprinkled some gold embossing powder, heat set and then lightly ironed off.

 The sentiment was stamped on the resist piece of newsprint paper using Black Archival.

Several layers of clear embossing powder covered the stamped time piece as well as the pocket watch.   

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are enjoying your week!
