…when neither fell, though both were loved

This is my final showcase from the Simply B Stamps Steampunk Romance collection and it features Romance Jacob.

This project is the matching pair to my earlier card featuring Romance Grace.  The two images just seemed perfect for a pair of matching cards although it was quite a challenge making this one masculine but matching!  I think I’ve managed it with lots of metal embellies and clocks and gears instead of roses and butterflies.

The current challenge at Creative Fingers has an optional twist of using something old from your craft stash and this card features a few things from my stash.  I’ve had the brads I used in the centre of the clock faces so long I don’t even know where they came from, maybe Stampin’ Up but then maybe not.  The ‘love’ metal embellie is also an old one from a retired Making Memories line and the Papermania clock faces and gears and Tim Holtz embellies have all been in my stash for at least six months.

Metal embellies are also my favourite embellie, I use heaps of them and have at least three on this card, I have more than three different kinds of metal embellies so I’m entering this card over at QKR Stampede.  With my red designer paper I’m also linking this at the current challenge at Stampin’ for the Weekend.

And don't forget our current challenge at Simply Steampunk Challenges, it's a Steampunk anything goes, so colour up your favourite Steampunk image and join the fun.
