A Clockwork Bird!

Morning folks and hope you all had a lovely weekend. It's Monday yet again so we have a new challenge for you over at Make My Monday, continuing with our theme for the month of Man and Boy, this week we would like to see your masculine creations with an Animal or Bird featured. You really should look at the DT inspiration too as we have some very varied creations to share this week.
My own card is a bit quirky as I decided to give my Oxford Impressions steampunk stamps another inking - I'm sure you can tell how much I love these - and made this.

Can you see what I mean about quirky?!
It's quite a simple card with the background embossed with the Cuttlebug gears and cogs folder the inked with Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge and Black Soot Distress inks. I added this to a mat of black card to leave a narrow border.
I stamped the bird with black ink and embossed with clear powder then stamped the winding key with bronze ink and embossed with Antiquities Tarnished Gold. I cut them both out and addded to the card with foam tape.
I then embossed 2 Maya Road chipboard cogs in the same way as the bird and key and added these with silicone glue. I finished off with a Dymo tape greeting and stamped steampunk text cut out and swiped with ink to blend in.

Challenges for my card:
The Paper Shelter Challenge - Wings and Things
Anything Goes Challenge - Time or Steampunk
Cards For Men - Texture

Have a great week,
Fliss xx
